The Dog Caught a Scent

Anyone who knows me knows how my brain works.

I’m basically a wild dog.

I chase balls.

I chase scents.

I twitch when someone says “squirrel.”

So when a friend casually said, “You aren’t the first. Illinois has procedures for this,”

…I did what I always do.

I followed the scent.

That rabbit hole turned into thousands of files.

Which led me to a procedure that probably worked best when no one paid attention.

Top drawer.

Leave it open.

Never decide.

Not denial.

Not approval.

Just… deferral.

So…. I wrote about it.
