Meanwhile, the residents of our beautiful county are still busy providing daily entertainment to go with my morning cup of tea--
"1:40 p.m.--A caller reported two elderly motorists in Mustangs were driving at an excessive speed on Richardson Street." [Alright!--geezer drag racing! Hey, if Mick can still bring it...]
"6:32 p.m.--A woman from the 14000 block of Hemlock Drive reported the theft of a purse from a vehicle. She called back to report finding the purse on her back deck." [*sigh*--probably a more realistic scenario to look forward to...]
[...or this]
"10:49 a.m.--A caller from the 100 block of Glasson Way reported the theft of a walker."
"12:14 p.m.--A woman from the 11000 block of Lime Kiln Road reported she and her mother were in a verbal argument about which shirt she should wear. The situation was mediated when the daughter agreed to dress nicely when she went to town and only wear her flannel shirt at home." [Um, thought she was calling the fashion police, I assume...]
"1:05 p.m.--A caller from the 100 block of East Main Street reported an 'angry artist' was in the lobby." [we're touchier than we seem--watch yourselves]
"11:14 p.m.--A man from the 400 block of East Bennett Street reported he and a friend had gone to a hobo camp [in a time machine?] to donate blankets and his friend was now lost. He was described as wearing all black and being 'as big as a house'. The man later reported his friend had returned home." [hope he hid the "police blotter" page from his large "friend" next morning...]
"10:47 p.m.--A caller from a business in the 100 block of Mill Street reported a man named 'Creepy Paul' grabbed the caller's buttocks and wanted to take 'them' into the bathroom. He was gone when officers arrived." [shocking a guy named, "Creepy Paul" would say something so, er, creepy...]
"9:10 p.m.--A woman from the 200 block of Dorsey Drive reported a wild kitten in her residence. She was advised to give the kitten back to her friend." [yeah. Imagining the look on the dispatcher's face...]
"8:37 a.m.--A person came into the police department to write out complaints about ongoing world concerns." [...and again. Just covering all the bases, I guess...]
"10:20 a.m.--A caller from West Main and Squirrel Creek roads reported Hope was lost. Hope was described as a very friendly American terrier. The caller reported at 11:29 a.m. that Hope was found." [what about Sanity?"]
More soon. They've been piling up!
