   Of course not, or they would have been calling in progress updates along the way. They had to wait until they got to Mexico so they could use a payphone.

   My hypothesis is (which I shall never test) that as edible parts of a pig they rank just after pig’s tails, which I have eaten, once, which was one time too many. This was in a small restaurant in a small town where there’s a huge national hardware distributor which has a “market” twice a year for their dealers to come place seasonal orders. On the three days it runs twice a year, it’s hard to get into the restaurant, and everyone seems to go there for pig’s tails.

   You’re thinking of an opossum. Possums are an actual different Australian marsupial. >

   My sister makes it. When she’s home for a visit the whole family gets together for a big feed of it. As it happens, that most recently was 8 days ago.

   Reading comprehension 101: I said “…or if any citizen could sue a municipality for not arresting homeless people…” So private citizens will be able to sue municipalities who do NOT arrest homeless people with the goal of making the homeless problem “disappear” by hiding it.

   The difference with a school bus is that there can be no question who’s driving, unlike a private vehicle that could have multiple family members or even a friend driving it.

   I actually did that. You can with a dash cam. I recorded a school bus, full of children, run a red light. I turned in the same direction the bus was going and because he had just run the red, I was the first car behind him so got his license plate. I reported it to the police. They asked me to make a statement and provide a copy of the video. They went to the school bus company to get the driver’s ID and charged him. I heard later that upon conviction he lost his job, which was only appropriate.

    …or if any citizen could sue a municipality for not arresting homeless people in order to hide the homelessness problem instead of actually trying to solve the problem. cough, Florida, cough.
