The best single place-specific joke in Confess, Fletch is Jon Hamm going to Boston's Chinatown, asking where he can get fireworks, and being told with pure contempt "New Hampshire"

Why are they not allowing ā€” nay, forcing ā€” Jon Hamm to make a Fletch movie every couple years for the morale?

In addition to the many things that are scary about the water itself, it can also obscure storm drains that can suck you in and drown you. www.propublica.org/article/stor...

In hard rains, we put sandbags at the top of our driveway. August's hurricane waters were only 4" deep but moved fast enough to sweep away the bags, then flood the basement. Got knocked off my feet when I went out to check the sump lines. DO NOT PUT YOUR BODY IN FLOOD WATER.

Storm folks: Flood water is *toxic*. It has raw sewage, gasoline and transmission fluid, all kinds of chemicals (especially if it's near power plants or chemical storage facilities), it can even have medical waste and radiological waste. If possible, DO NOT put your body in flood water.

Can you put the steak in a blender with whatever Spanish you remember and hit frappe? Might work.

My boss, who speaks Spanish, says listening to Portuguese makes him feel like heā€™s having a stroke, so ā€¦ might be slightly more challenging on the language front.
