The wild, wild? West! The Police Blotter tells all....

It's the Wild West out here,

or so people say...

BUT

we don't necessarily think so...

B U T...

then again...

I looked at today's local newspaper

and gasped!

The Police Blotter was

L O N G...

Okay, so perhaps there might be a bit o' truth

in that old saying... 

Ya know,

our police do get a lot of wild calls

and everyone knows that

those guys don't get paid enough

to be in the line of duty

here.

It's downright dangerous!

Here's a sampling of what these courageous men and woman

(Yes! we just got ourselves a lady cop!  woot!)

ahem.

have to deal with:

A driver swerved to avoid hitting a coyote and put his dump truck trailer in a ditch on Thrall Road.

Two children reportedly were chasing deer with shovels. (note: just checked..and those were NOT my children)

A broken water pipe was reported.

Four goats reportedly were found grazing in a field on Creek Road and the reporting party didn't know who owns the goats!  (note: NOT my goats...wrong road!)

A trailer was sticking out into the road on University Way.

A woman was sitting in a mud puddle on Canyon Road.

A person was came to a house on Second St and requested a sleeping bag.

A man on his knees in a field appeared to be hitting something.

A man, who possibly was under the influence, reportedly drove his vehicle with a flat tire up on a sidewalk on First St. because he didn't have a jack and wanted to jack it up.

A woman reportedly was knocking on a door on East Way telling the resident to open the door. (I was confused about this crime--but maybe folks in the city know more about it??)

An intoxicated man was looking for an officer to find out if he could get a DUI on a bike.

A driver failed to signal while turning onto Main St. from Fourth Ave.

AND my favorite...'cause I got to see this one going down!! (needed binoculars though):

A woman in the Badger Pocket reportedly was having a civil dispute with a person who would not remove 80 head of cattle from her property.  (Civil? Ha!  My foot!  There were no less than 4 cop cars there and one was twirling it's lights!  Super cool.)

Ohhhhh Boy!

Today's Police Blotter just went

on 

and

on

and

on!

I'm just shaking my head 

because

I certainly don't see how crime could git much worse!

Of course,

I know I feel safe here in my home at night

but that's only because

we have our guard dog:

' Biskit '

here to protect and serve us.

' Biskit '

Our Fearless Guard Dog

Now, be careful when you come to visit!

I mean that...

I. 

do.

Them cows and horses tend to leave a lot of pies 

just everywhere

and

you might step in one.

So be careful.

Where you step.

Now that you've been properly warned:

I will leave you with

a piece of homegrown truth:

Eat some meat...

the West wasn't won on salad.
