But Who’s Counting? District Attorney Sean McCormack of Cumberland County, Pa., is spearheading a fight against human trafficking. He recently announced Li’s Asian Massage in Carlisle has been closed down, and its owner, Chuanxia Wang, 65, was arrested on multiple felony charges. “The message that I’m trying to get out is that we’re not going to tolerate human trafficking in Cumberland County,” McCormack said. Investigators are now tracking clients of the establishment, and have arrested one of its most frequent. Stephen R. Melton, 65, paid for sexual services at least 68 times at Wang’s shop, investigators say, noting he would remove and pocket his wedding ring when he walked up to the business. He is charged with patronizing victims of human trafficking with reckless disregard for their welfare. Melton allegedly admitted paying for various sex acts, and preferred that particular massage parlor as it was “conveniently located” between his home in Mechanicsburg and the Big Spring Presbyterian Church in Newville, where he worked as its Pastor for more than two years. (Harrisburg Patriot-News) ...Damn the timing: he was really looking forward to No. 69.

Halloween is the beginning of the holiday shopping season. That’s for women.
The beginning of the holiday shopping season for men is Christmas Eve.”
Turkey Day: A man went to North Bend, Ore., City Hall to “retrieve personal items” — specifically, a backpack loaded with heroin. He was arrested. But he did, police say, get to eat first: he had arrived during North Bend’s Thanksgiving Potluck. His companion, a woman, was also arrested: she had a warrant out for her arrest. She was also allowed to eat first. Neither was named by police. (KOBI Medford) ...If cops and suspects can share a Thanksgiving meal, there’s hope for the rest of us.
Art, Now with Potassium: “Balancing profound critical thought and subversive wit, this is a defining work for the artist and for our generation,” claims David Galperin, head of contemporary art at Sotheby’s, describing “Comedian” by Maurizio Cattelan. The auction house sold the work in New York for $6.2 million. “Comedian” became famous as a banana duct-taped to a wall at the Miami Beach Convention Center in 2019; bananas decay (and one was eaten), but they can, the artist has said, be replaced. Sotheby’s explained before the auction that winning the auction would entitle a bidder to a banana, some duct tape, instructions, and a certificate of authenticity. Justin Sun, the crypto guy who won these ...uh... treasures, has big plans for the fruit: “In the coming days, I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture.” (WKMG Orlando, Miami Herald, KNXV Phoenix) ...And I’ll honor it as it deserves by “personally” eating a banana I got at Walmart.

Stamp of Approval: The U.S. Postal Service has announced that it will issue a stamp in 2025 featuring actress Betty White, who died on the last day of 2021, 17 days before she would have turned 100. She first appeared on an experimental TV station at 18 years old, and was still working into her late 90s. White, who played as prim and proper with a side of bawdy, was “The only [Saturday Night Live] host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party,” Seth Meyers said when she died. “A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.” USPS says White’s stamp will be a “Forever” stamp, which means it will always be usable to send a First Class letter in the U.S. (AP) ...Forever? That’s exactly how long she’ll be loved.
