Of course you'll get no hits on Google if you can't even spell "homicide."

And noting that a county with less than 300,000 residents and only Boulder as something approximating a city has fewer deaths than places with ten times as many people -- particularly since the links he mentions are for metropolitan areas -- partially explains why Pitkin cartoons from Boulder, and not some more high-paced mecca.

Lastly, is he using a circa-2000 clamshell Mac notebook there?
