How the World Does Drugs
The UN’s International Narcotics Control Board released its annual report on the global trade Wednesday. A few points to ponder:
The gender gap is closing; men have typically exhibited higher rates of drug use than women globally, but in many countries that margin is now narrowing.

byronic:
Sabine - as they say: I saw this and I thought of you :)
Merci. But I’d like to say, that while I delighted in Laduree’s macarons, they certainly were not the best we had on the trip.

We call doughnut holes “TimBits”
There is no Canadian bacon. Just bacon.
There is no “maybe” about the yumminess of poutine

It’s just called “hockey”. Putting the “ice” in front of it comes off as repetitive to Canadians.

Last night's pizza
Ok.. there were three small pizzas. I made my own dough and it turned out to be more than we needed.
BBQ sauce + chicken + pineapple + caramelized onions + cheese
Tomato paste + sundried tomatoes + cheese
Thai sweet chili sauce + chicken + caramelized onions + green onions + light cheese
Delicious.
It’s also tonight’s pizza.

Oh America...
Sometimes you wonder why people think you are a ridiculous country.
Then one of your Olympic athletes (Julia Mancusa) sports a tiara at the bottom of the hill. Sure it was a good run. Yes, she is taking home silver, but really? A tiara? You look ridiculous … and full of yourself.
A little modesty goes a long way.

Josh: I'll do some of each.
Sabine: Can you also put some on a pony?
Josh: ermmmm...
