On a related note...
A friend of mine who just finished the Police Academy here was telling me
about an unattended death.
The person just died while in his trailer.
His mobile home trailer.
With the shiny aluminum sides.
Nobody found him for two weeks during the New Mexico summer.

They had to scoop and pour the deceased into a body bag.

And the stench...
People were gagging as they walked by the officers who walked in the
trailer.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Tom Waits:
...and the chicken, decked out in Foster Grant wraparounds and Purina
checkerboard slacks, cruised across La Cienica Boulevard in a 1959
monkey-shit- brown Buick Super, while the yellow biscuit of a buttery
cue-ball moon came rolling maverick across an obsidian sky, and why? you
say? Cause that's life, and that's what all the chickens say.
You're one one side in April, and you're seriouly run down in May ....
