For the first time, the government looked at the use of drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and various other substances, legal as well as illegal, by region rather than by state for a report Thursday.

Regions could be as specific as Riverside, Calif., or as broad as all of the state of New York (minus New York City). Federal officials say the information will help states decide where they should spend money for treatment and prevention programs

6. Rox, you rule!

I agree. Mittens and that Mormom weed did it.

9. Now Mittens will leave the state

And we're stuck with that ugly temple in Belmont, looming over Route 2. Did that get built mostly because Mittens wanted a temple in his home town?

I met Wade Sanders in NH. I have a couple of photos of him and Doug Brinkley. I wish I did not have plans for my daughters birthday, I'd drive done there.
