By which I mean: your "potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs." That's per the Dallas Police Department's release, sent moments ago, in which it says the DPD and Drug Enforcement Agency will be celebrating Prescription Drug Take Back Day tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There are some 33 locations areawide at which you can flush your pills ("no questions asked"!), or you can stop by DPD HQ at 1400 S. Lamar -- where, 'round 10:30 tomorrow morning, DPD Chief David Brown, DEA Special Agent in Charge James Capra and United States Attorney Jim Jacks will be holding. A press conference, I mean. Or you can come by Unfair Park HQ. Patrick "Buzz" Williams will be the one out front holding a bucket.
