I took advantage of the nice weather this past Sunday and raked my lawn of the trash and leaves that had piled up over the winter. My house in St. Catharines is on a corner, by a school, with a hedge; so you couldn’t design a better neighborhood trash collector without some type of laser or fans. So I decided that since all the snow was finally gone it was time to clean things up.

For starters, I got home to find a baby carriage wedged into the hedge. Perhaps there was a stroller on stroller collision at that corner and one was thrown out of the intersection. So I moved the baby carriage to the other side of the house by our trash, it has since moved down the street.

As I started to rake up all the leaves and trash: flyers, cigarettes, food packages, etc. I came across the item above: a pice of a syringe!

What is the only possible conclusion from these two pieces of evidence? My neighborhood has crack babies in it. Clearly babies are cruising down to the corner in their rides, getting jacked up and crawling back to their cribs – probably to hit the bottle. It’s a sad conclusion, but the only plausible one.
