Numbers 16 and 41 sort of scared me. Overall, seems about right.

Damn, when he said that retail would be like a Mexican drugstore, I thought he meant that everyone could buy vodka and tequila, regardless of age or i.d., and that they'd sell stuff like codeine over the counter... but all he talked about was toothbrushes, and now i'm depressed.

Tatyanna,
I love you. That was fucking funny. I hope Dorian is all well and good again. I have been thinking about you two.

Have a nice day, Boonie
