Neighborhood Meth Watch

No one stepped up to the plate to swing at the "Albino Poo" (does drug slang ever get old or stop evolving?) you may know more commonly as metamphetamine or meth, so allow me to start this Horse Mumpy race by sprinkling a little Gyp Hawaiian Salt on your Jib Nuggets. As a public service, here are the KCI's top signs you may be living near a meth lab:

* Unusual, strong odors (like cat urine, ether, ammonia, acetone or other chemicals).
* Residences with windows blacked out.
* Renters who pay their landlords in cash. (Most drug dealers trade exclusively in cash.)
* Lots of traffic - people coming and going at unusual times. There may be little traffic during the day, but at night the activity increases dramatically.
* Excessive trash including large amounts of items such as: antifreeze containers, lantern fuel cans, red chemically stained coffee filters, drain cleaner and duct tape.
* Unusual amounts of clear glass containers being brought into the home.

Blottered adds, you live next to this guy:
