Hoo! Smoky! Cooler, but perhaps the smokiest day since this all started nearly three weeks ago! 90 was the high, here, today.
Meanwhile, back at the Police Blotter,
"3:59 p.m.--A caller from the 200 block of Dorsey drive reported he misplaced his vehicle within his apartment complex." [not the sort of thing I'd be mentioning to anyone, much less the police..]
"10:17 p.m.--A party on French Avenue with a bonfire was broken up by police. The people extinguished the fire and went inside." [more heat, more smoke, more sparks. Can't have too much of those, these days...]
[Taken together:]
"11:46 p.m.--A caller reported people were lighting batons on fire in the Commercial Street parking lot. Police advised people not to light things on fire." [Then...]
"11:56 p.m.--A caller reported people were still lighting things on fire. Police stood by as the people gathered their things and left the area." [Who are the most irritating subjects of this story? The Tattler? The Firebugs? The Police who didn't break the "things" over their dumb heads?]
"3:23 a.m.--A caller from the 18000 block of McCourtney Road reported people in the bushes waving their arms. Officers contacted the people and transported them to the Yuba County line." [If there's anything this county won't tolerate, it's criminal arm-waving.]
"7:32 p.m.--A man called from a store on the 1000 block of Sutton Way to report he was urinating behind the business when a man in his 40s came up behind him. Police checked the area and could not find the man."[Can't a guy get some privacy around here?]
"10:15 a.m.--A caller from Vista Avenue reported a man was standing in his front yard and yelling. Responding officers found it was a man singing badly along with his iPod." [ouch]
"3:49 a.m.--A 911 caller reported he could not urinate. Deputies traced the call and cited the person for improperly using an emergency number." [who knew the police didn't catheterize?]
"6:03 p.m.--A caller from the 200 block of North School Street reported a squirrel was running around and around in circles for over an hour. The caller was worried the squirrel might be rabid. An Animal Control officer advised police it is breeding season for squirrels, which would explain the behavior." [Wildlife question? Call the police]
"6:07 a.m.--A woman from the 12000 block of Ridge Road reported a man was watching her for a month. The man was possibly somewhere on the perimeter of her property. While she was on the telephone, the woman confronted the man and he said he parked in front of her house and sneaked over to his girlfriend's residence so her parents wouldn't catch him." [he must be a real catch]
And, finally, my dad sent me a bunch of photos of the art of this guy, Livio De Marchi. Crazy wood work. Check it out: http://www.liviodemarchi.com/index.htm
Amazing!
