new mexico "Breaking Bad" blue bath salts
e: ... the local media loves the show "Breaking Bad" and everything associated with it ... not too long ago the media was covering a new donut shop that sells donuts with blue "meth" look-a-like candy on top ... they had nothing but positive praise ...
... yesterday i learned that the new cool bad thing to do in high school is to snort (granulated sugar) pixie sticks off your desk ... and to smoke (hard sugar) smarties ... imitating powder cocaine and crack cocaine use ...
... i predict that the next "drug" epidemic will be high school kids snorting and smoking blue bath salts ... and i will blame the media, the cops, and local businesses for starting the trend.

‘Breaking Bad’ brings tourists to Albuquerque for ‘meth’ treats like blue rock candy, bath salts
mar 15, 2013
The New Mexico city has seen a boost in tourism thanks to AMC's drug-trafficking drama, 'Breaking Bad.' Shops are hawking blue candy and bath salts designed to resemble crystal meth, and a burrito chain seen in the show has become an international tourist attraction.
A beauty store has a similar product — crystal blue bathing salts.
Debbie Ball, owner of The Candy Lady store, shows off her new line of 'meth candy,' made from sugar rock candy.

pt2 live cattle prices (rain trouble)
e: ... we have rain trouble ... almost no new rain for a week ... [update: it rained 0.25 inches just after i wrote this post.]
... there is fear that the grass that has begun to grow will burn up and die ... or that we have all that we will get ... there is fear that the remaining ranchers who have not yet sold out will begin to do so ... more supply for sale would push prices down again ...
... i am looking for prices to immediately fall lower on aug 5 and aug 6 ... failure to immediately fall lower jeopardizes this bearish stance ...
... august contract closed at 120.65 ... i am looking down to 115 over next 2-4 weeks against resistance at 122 ...
... october contract closed at 124.475 ... i am looking down to 119 over next 2-4 weeks against resistance 126 ...
... any unexpected push past those cited resistance levels would instead strongly suggest that the lows for the year were made at the may/june lows.

[local story]
City animal shelter dealing with overcrowding
aug 1, 2013
Animal Control says they have nearly 200 more dogs at shelters than they can handle, and part of the reason is because owners keep breaking the rules. [more police welfare checks to come; more animals will be seized]
Police were doing a welfare check ... [police visit you]
The homeowner was arrested on several charges, including not having a license for that many animals. Without that license, you can have six pets, four of them dogs, in the city of Albuquerque. [police arrest you]
These dogs will also need help from trainers to be socialized. [police bill you]
http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3117490.shtml?cat=500
-----------------------------------
e: ... they [media] don't tell you which license allows you more freedom ... because the purpose is to tell you the LIMIT ... not how to get around it ... call them and ask ... i bet you have a police welfare check soon after ...
... the truth is the opposite of everything they tell you ... here come the police ... surprise police inspections for everyone ... the police state is here ... and the media is in on it.

... picking up cans: while seated reached down towards the ground between your legs and pick up an imaginary can, closing to fist while pulling up towards shoulder, alternating strokes ... picking up cans ... picking up cans ... picking up cans ... if you earned one penny for every can you picked up, could you survive?
... swimming freestyle: reach over and forward, then down and back ... alternating strokes ... do a hundred reps of that ... swimming freestyle ... swimming freestyle ...
... twist in place ... don't hurry and hurt yourself ... do it in a controlled fashion ... it's the number of reps that matters ... not the resistance ... (anything twisting is called the stripper ... you've seen those tight as a drum waists right?)
... when beliefs alter behavior ... going with the idea that the truth is the opposite of everything they tell you ...
