A Sticky Situation

In this day and age if you are going to make maple syrup you should probably let the neighbors know about it. Otherwise they may misconstrue all the containers and paraphenailia for a meth lab. Giving SWAT some homemade syrup was a nice touch.

Getting busted by SWAT must have been a real shock! Observant neighbors, but not very neighborly.

I had to hit the maps to see where this happened 'cause Illinois isn't known for maple syrup! Anna, Il. looks like some incorporated upper-middle class subdivision.

I Googleized this info: "Anna is well renowned for the Anna State Mental Hospital or the Choate Mental Health Care Center.".

Someone commented they probably smelled by maple syrup donuts.
