I wish I had a video of the chicago police not responding to my 911 calls about someone shooting up my block with a shotgun. Or that gang fight on the 4th of july when someone got a bottle and baseball bat to the head and someone else was murdered, and the 911 operator could hear the gunshots on the...

Dill goes great in Potato Salad and gravy...miso gravy. Actually thats all it goes great in 'round here.
