One county on the edge of the Missouri Ozarks seemed oddly immune to the scourge of methamphetamine ravaging the state, boasting few meth raids or arrests in recent years. Some residents now think they know why, after a meth bust landed the Carter County sheriff himself in jail.

No state has been hit harder by the meth epidemic than Missouri, which led the nation in meth lab busts every year for a decade before Tennessee took over the top spot in 2010, dropping Missouri to second. Missouri has reported more than 13,000 meth lab incidents in the past seven years. The highly-addictive drug, made by cooking common chemicals, has caused countless fires and explosions, along with severe health problems among users. Story Here

I like your blog! By the way, If you have time,
drop by my painting blog...Daniel
Thanks for the invite. I dropped by and am really impressed.
I love art and especially oil painting.
I've dabbled over the years and even showed some of my stuff at an Art Show in Riverside, California back in 1995.
Since then I haven't done much.
My writing has been taking most of my time.
I really like your blog and am simply in awe of it.
