Most of us have watched an episode or full seasons of the AMC breakout hit series “Breaking Bad.” The central character, Walter White, is a high school science teacher with terminal cancer who decides that to provide for his family after his passing he’ll cook up meth.

Funny how that works. You can see the profit spread on the county records of property sales. You can’t sell pussy for this markup. I
In my neck of the woods we call meth users tweakers. You can spot one a mile away. Always scratching every place on their body that can be reached, missing most, if not all of their teeth. Most of them look like a strong breeze would knock them over. Everyone of them that I have seen also have utterly dead eyes. Battery acid & ammonia tend to have that effect on you.
