''Tell the foreman I'm sick.
I don't give a shit what you tell him.''
:14:03
I grabbed my coat, flew out the door,
passed the guards...
:14:07
jumped into my car,
got onto Bristol Road...
:14:09
and was flying toward my apartment.
:14:12
I turned on the radio,
hoping that might cheer me up...
:14:14
I had tears coming out of my eyes...
:14:16
and I strike right into the middle
of Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys.
:14:21
And I'm thinking, ''What a horrible song...
:14:24
''to have to hear
in the midst of this panic attack.''
:14:26
A song that I'd usually
get a groove going with.
:14:31
I'm trying to sing the lyrics,
and I've got an apple in my throat.
:14:40
I'm trying to rationalize with those lyrics...
:14:42
trying to think, ''Wouldn't it be nice? ''
And it just wasn't working.

Some disturbing news today from
the Genesee County Health Department.
:15:10
It announced the rat population in Flint...
:15:12
has now surpassed
the human population by 50,000.
:15:15
Health officials say it's due
to massive numbers of people leaving...
:15:18
and the city cutting back
to twice-monthly garbage collection...
:15:21
due to budget constraints.
