Good idea. So I'm sure you guys have done a lot of other stuff that was really clever, but just didn't see the light of day. the first base line-- they've added all these little carnival activities, putt putt golf kinds of things.
It was more let's look at the range of bad behavior, the crime that occurs out there, and not just environmental crime. In fact when I first pitched it, as I left the office sort of shocked that I had made it past first base on this, as I left my editor-- her name is Rebecca Corbett-- said, and by the way, let's think
