I've never visited Dodge. I keep meaning to get there during their annual celebration, but I haven't made it yet.
What is it about some towns that become overwhelmed with illegal drugs? And, of course, crime and violence follow. Our city had a problem with meth for a while, but diligence seems to be curtailing that activity. Now, we are fighting men without morals or conscience who are selling drugged potpourri and bath salts to minors. One young man under the influence ran onto the highway into a semi's path, and that's the end of his story. That didn't deter the men at all, as they were making fabulous amounts of money preying on children. The citizenry got involved, and the men will probably rue the day they didn't give a cut to Uncle Sam, as it seems their big mistake was not remitting tax on their sales.
Interesting about the potatoes. I'm more familiar with the smell of livestock slaughterhouses. That will turn your stomach.
