Today, according to the Nevada County Union, will be "sunny and pleasant" and 62 degrees. It's 53, already, at 10am, and hovered around 32 when I walked, earlier, around 6:30. It's been extra warm the past week, or so. The crocus are blooming, and I see my iris and daffodils (planted in Nov) beginning to send up shoots. It reminds us of spring in Colorado, when we began to better understand the term, "spring fever". We' were looking very hard at the bare trees to see any sign of budding after the icy, brown months. I love winter, however, so it's leaving a bit too early, in my perspective. But one reason I enjoy the seasons, here, so much, is that there's always something wonderful and different ready to happen. We like the changes. Plus, summer (my least favorite season) and it's hot days are kept a little more tightly confined. None of this 90's-in-January business. Enough of this sentimental fluff. I'm beginning to hear violins.
Now, for some goofy, real-life fluff. We've gotten behind in Police Blotter shenanigans. This isn't the best batch, but I was gone a lot in Feb and missed some, maybe. Or, perhaps the really loony stuff is seasonal and cranks up in the spring. We can only hope (isn't that what spring is all about--hope?).
"11:25 a.m.--A woman called from the 17000 block of Cattle Drive reporting that her computer was having problems and she said it seemed as though someone was hacking into the system and looking at different files." [Oh, if I think of all the times I was frustrated with my computer and calling the police didn't even cross my mind! On TV, they're always computer wizards! Duh!]
"9:37 p.m.--Officers arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of falsity and being drunk in public on the 300 block of West Main Street and booked him into Nevada County jail." ["falsity"? Can you be arrested for denying that you're plastered?]
"12:08 a.m.--Officers contacted two employees of a business on the 1800 block of East Main Street who were fighting over a quarter on the ground." [Perhaps these folks need raises]
"3:33 p.m.--A caller from the 100 block of Boulder Street reported a suspicious-looking man was dancing in the street and undressing. Police determined there was no crime. The man was moving on." [No crime? I guess that could be taken as a compliment or an insult]
"8:29 p.m.--Someone left keys at the police station. The keys were in a red cloth that goes around the neck. On the key ring were four keys, a remote vehicle unlocker and Petco and Petsmart cards." ["a red cloth that goes around the neck"? Hmm. Wish there was a shorter term for that...]
"1:21 p.m.--A caller from Freeman Lane reported that a woman had slumped over her steering wheel in a black vehicle in front of a business on the 700 block of Freeman Lane. The reporting person had knocked on her window and she hadn't responded. Officers contacted the 64-year-old woman who said she was simply tired and not unwell and that she'd be on her way home, now." [I guess the chalk outline she usually uses for her cat naps was occupied]
By the by, I hope you checked out "a train runs through it" from the last entry. It's a fave.
