Nightmare in Apt B9

So I woke up to the worst nightmare imaginable. Police bashed through my front door (Sat. morning), damaging it completely and wanting to know who and what was in my apartment.

I had been in my bedroom (doors closed) so I didn't hear any of their preliminary knocking. They busted open my front-door (see photo). It was a huge destructive entry into my apartment. They saw me, said they were trying to investigate the smell coming out of my apartment (i.e. a box of old salad I had put near the front door so that I would remember to throw out the next day). They informed me of that and then simply left. Yuck!

Obama's Home for Help

Really nice presentation by former president, Barak Obama, at the opening ceremony of his Presidential Center on the south side of Chicago [link].

Found this on the ground while out on my walk. We all know what this was for, right?
