They generally want to just do their jobs and catch bad guys. My registration is expired for reasons that are very complicated. An Arlington, Virginia cop pulled my wife over and let her go provided I keep my court date to get the registration sorted out. I am so relieved. No tow, no impound fees, nothing like that. I am so relieved.
Cops. Doing their job, being honest and helpful. Mr. Unknown Arlington Cop, thank you so, so much. You're a credit to your profession.

Woot woot woot!
Ball python #2 is arriving Wednesday morning. Here she is:
She's a Mojave morph (and yes, it's a she). It's hard to tell with the white background and the flash washing her out, but Mojaves are darker and have brighter yellow patterns that just get darker and more yellow as they get older. She's 110 gr, so she's a little tinier than Indy and she's eating live and frozen mice. I think I'm going to try to keep her on frozen. We haven't decided on a name for her yet. She'll be cohabitating with Indy as his tank is kind of spacious, but we've been warned that might stress them a little. So if one of them gets finicky about food it might be time for emergency additional tank. But, I've been pretty lucky with BP's being good eaters.
We got her from RC Reptiles, which I very much recommend. The rest aren't as professional and communicative. To quote Ron, his snakes are the Mercedes of ball pythons. He made a believer out of me.

Weeds
I just finished watching the five series of Weeds on Netflix, and now I'm dying to see the sixth, which is still on television. Since I don't get cable TV, I'm hozed until it's released on DVD.
Weeds, for the unindoctrinated, is a great show. Made me a fan after the first episode, and I've literally spent an entire day watching it (series 4). But when netflix recommended something similar, they recommended Nip/Tuck, which is really more like a soap opera than a "Dramedy" (their term, not mine). So now I'm really bummed because the weed content on television is so low, and most of the Dramedies netflix suggests are far more "drama" than "edy".
