| Innocent Families Discover Meth Still Lurks In Their Homes - Part III
We first alerted homeowners to a problem that has lurked inside their homes for years. Houses that used to be meth labs are now home sweet home to unsuspecting families. We're testing the smallest places, looking for a drug that could coat every inch of a home, without the owner ever knowing about the dangers. Pascagoula resident Lila West is convinced Hurricane Katrina washed her home's meth problem away. When WLOX reporter Keli Rabon asked West if she thought her home was safe, she assured us she was safe. West said before Katrina, she and her family worked hard to clean it up. "All I know is this was the nastiest, filthiest hole I've ever seen in my life. We had every window open, we took all the rugs out and mopped them down with vinegar and water," West said.
Calling all superstitious Giants fans
We're at the stadium for home games, and we've determined which tailgate foods are lucky and unlucky. Stuffed peppers (or shooters, as some call them) have been banned from the tailgate after too many losses. And even though we've got four, my old man and I have also been sitting in the same exact seats at Giants stadium for the past 25 years. We never switch it up, ever. .

Where do women voters stand
I had a little trouble voting the other day. In my excitement I neglected to insert the electronic voting card until it fully clicked into place. If the precinct volunteers noticed me frowning at the screen, lingering at the booth a little longer than necessary, they probably just thought, "Here we go again. Another female voter who can't make up her mind." For women of both parties, last Tuesday's ballot was enough to give anyone pause. Democrats were made giddy by their choices, happily asking themselves, "Which way do I want to help make history?" Republican women were also kicking around the candidates, for entirely different reasons— their choices felt more filled with compromise. The GOP offered them a hair-triggered straight-talker hated by his party's base, a folksy preacher without a prayer and a Mormon flip-flopper with the visage of Reagan but none of the charisma.
