I needed to go into the store today. For unrelated reasons, I spoke with the police. I think that the complaint was false, given the three inconsistent stories and the decision to not continue when neither the video footage nor the extremely casual once-over the officer gave the lost* purse didn't add up to any of them. Forensic science and police procedure for the win, I guess.

The workout:
Two Hundred Twenty Calf Raises

Five minutes in the Pits, wielding a jo staff









*Or, based on the footage, potentially "lost".

Grins for forensic ; the X-files's Dana Scully was a character my younger self admired, LOL, and I got the luck to work for a summer job at the analytical lab of Paris's mortuary / morgue, good memories. You never forget the smell, tough (the bodies were one floor down)! Got my chance to see all kind of drugs - that my law-abiding and self-preserving self would never have dreamed to cross path with, LOL, and analyse blood samples from car crashes.

I, too, spent some time in a city analytical lab. Not the morgue but the criminalistics lab for the city of St. Louis*, Missouri. Definitely some smells I'll never forget**. I never worked with drug chem, though, I was always helping out the bio lab. I was always hopeful I would be able to pivot into trace analysis and fun*** chemistry, but life went a different direction for me.

Also, Scully was definitely a character I looked up to, as well.








*Not to be confused with the county of St. Louis, Missouri. Very different jurisdictions there despite the city residing in the county.

Spoiler: Gross biological stuff.

Nothing quite like days-old bloody clothes to set off a gag reflex.

***Accelerants, for one.
