that was odd

Fucked up my hip while getting the mail -- I don't know how, I didn't slip on the ice or anything -- and had to Uber to work because I would not have been able to walk to the bus stop.

Uber driver is location manager on an upcoming documentary about Caril Fugate called The Twelfth Victim, so I got to hear about finding substitutes for demolished murder farms and tracking down duplicate cars. Which is not that easy in Nebraska, until you find the secretive rural guys with farmyards full of vintage cars that collectors and studios would go apeshit for.

He also liked Steely Dan.

It's interesting to say 'he seems neat' without it being a polite way of saying 'oh a serial killer'

[phosfate]

Nah. I shared some of the family Charlie Starkweather anecdotes so we got along.

Bit worried about the homeless man in front of the phone company when I walked in to work, who was screaming about how the state government stole his family, but I can't imagine anyone selling him a gun and we have security doors now. He might go for the coffee kiosk kids in the lobby, but they can lock themselves in their supply room, and the post office has drop down steel shutters.

[crantz]

aye. He seems genuinely neat!

Worried about that guy now too. I hope he finds help.

If he hasn't simmered down someone's gonna call the cops and they'll toss all his stuff.

[crantz]

oh jeez. That really sucks.

It's also entirely possible the cops know him, so at least he won't get shot.
