Random Wordplay for Wednesday 6/7/17

Gray Death

Used in a sentence:  "At the risk of tempting the fates of those in Chicago and Lebanon PA (respectively, my former hometowns), I'm going to introduce you to the latest street drug -- known affectionately (?) as the Gray Death."

Let me explain ... once upon a time, *after* the big move to southern Florida, I posted on the old blog about how flakka was taking over the streets here in the FTL.  Shortly thereafter, I saw that the counties in which I lived (and used to live) were all in the top 10 list for the flakka scourge ... and I started to take it personally.

With the opiod epidemic claiming lives everywhere across the country, I think it's key that those of us not (yet?) directly affected stay informed about what's out there on the streets ... and in our neighbor's homes ... and at our schools ...because knowledge is power, and with a lack of national leadership on the issue, we all need to be "in the know".

AS THE SLOGAN SAYS ... KNOW MORE.  BE SURE.:

THAT TIME THE FLAKKA TOP 10 LIST GAVE ME PERSONAL CAUSE FOR PAUSE:
