I ploughed through most of David Simon and Ed Burn's 1997 book 'The Corner' last week. A good companion to '88s 'Homicide', but a very different approach.

Both of these stories came together in 'The Wire' and it's interesting to read about both in such detail.

Things I learnt today:

Wishing Tim Sweeney "would just fuck off" is a breach of 'rediquette'.

Last plasmapherisis session this morning. Hope I am out today. Things move slowly here.
