neck bones

First, I have to say this is the first place I've lived that has "turkey necks" as a side dish.

But mostly that's not the point.

A University of New Orleans student was recently found dead in his dorm room because his decomposing body stunk so much after a week that neighbors called to complain. He was 42. While decomposition made ID and cause of death difficult to determine, his neck bones had been crushed, indicating strangulation. His wallet, car, and other items of value were missing.

Tonight K drove me home, and that was in the back of my mind. If I were strangled, who would know? Well, K would realize I'm not in class because I see her every day, and now she knows where to come drive to in order to see what's up, or to call the police. My Civ Pro prof (who tonight told me I have "climate issues") would notice my disappearance, and so would some of my classmates, but none of them know where I live. But now K does, so we call rest assured that my body will not decompose to the point of needing dental records to ID.
