Drug dealers sometimes hide their drugs in creative ways. Recently, police in Tennessee found drugs hidden in Taco Bell burritos. I don’t support illegal drug trafficking. But I do enjoy watching reality TV shows about law enforcement catching criminals. It’s fascinating to see the lengths people go to avoid getting caught.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt.
