Duuuuuuude! Is it bad that I laughed when I read that?
About 5 or 6 years ago I was sitting on my couch, watching something stupid on tv when I heard a huge BOOOOM! Because I'm me (and according to my bestie I don't fear enough stuff), I didn't get up and investigate. It turns out that it's good I didn't leave my house because three doors down (across the street from the high school) a huge meth lab blew up. The roof was literally blown off and there was tons of meth laced smoke barreling from the house.
Ahh, Modesto... how I loathe thee. Modesto is 90 miles from San Fran, Sacramento, Fresno, and Sonora. We are a massive drug running town (my dad was a big part of it, actually he probably still is) and making meth is a big deal here. Well, making it is not as prevalent as it was a few years ago, but drugs pour through this city like a sieve.
