    26. Twenty six. Two six. Adult.

    Forget about the drugs and the support of the wider drug trade in this community.

    What kind of 26 year old lets their headlight go bad? So many auto parts stores. Most 26 year olds worship their cars.

    Oh, I know. It must be the cost of illegal drugs, therefore the necessary headlight is too expensive to replace. Now other people on the road get hurt because they can’t judge distances well on one headlight.

    It all ties together, and makes our entire community less safe.

    Please get your life straightened out. You don’t need illegal drugs.
