I had a Supernatural sex dream.

There was a creepy little girl, a giant squirrel, all sorts of weirdness, and then apparently whatever made the girl creepy and the squirrel giant infected everyone, which resulted in Sam and Dean fighting and then me and Sam having sex. In very vivid detail. My sleeping brain even kept in mind how freakishly tall JP is.

"We will no longer evict people from foreclosed homes in Cook County."

Sheriff refuses to evict renters from homes where the landlord fell behind, because in most cases, the renters didn't know of the financial problems of the landlord. He calls them "innocent victims" and refuses to evict them as it's up to the mortgage companies to identify *who* should be served with the eviction notice. The mortgage companies often give erroneous information to the cops because they didn't do their jobs. The sheriff is refusing to do the mortgage companies' job for them.

On one hand, I don't think what he's doing is technically legal. BUT they have one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Which means they could be verging on one of the highest homeless rates. At the very least, it's bringing attention to the human side of the problem, the people who didn't get in over their heads and are now suffering as a result.

Things that make staying late way more entertaining

There was a fight in the garage at Lowe's between Harvick and Edwards. *squees* Drama before a race I'm going to! Score!

Details are still sketchy, but apparently there was a note left for Kevin by Carl that apparently caused some of the friction. There was a heated discussion. Kevin tried to walk away and Carl grabbed his arm, so Kevin pushed him, putting a Carl sized dent in his Nationwide car, then they started after each other, people jumped in, and one of Kevin's guys had Carl in a headlock.

I WANT FOOTAGE OF THIS, MKAY? Headlock? Carl? Hello!

ETA: The Charlotte Observer has a photo of the note. Just, sadly, not posted online. But they very kindly let us know what it said!

"Kevin, Thanks for (expletive) me on TV - I was really trying to screw up everyone's day. Love, Carl."
