my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

It’s always a warning with squirrels.
It's pretty clear a squirrel left a half-eaten mushroom on the deck railing' what I'm trying to figure out is if it's a gift... or a warning.

I have not read a more French story in a long time.
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

The Wisconsin education system has failed our students! One of my CNAs was wearing a chameleon pin and I caught it out of the corner of my eye and I said, “For a minute there I thought that was a Hodag.” AND NONE OF THEM KNEW WHAT A HODAG WAS! We have failed the children.
