Next week I will not be blogging as I go get some parts changed out. Ah, the cost of an active youth is I am wearing out parts quicker than the average bear (hey did you just do that in your Yogi voice?). The interesting thing is our staff is so excited to have me [...]

End of the World (as we know it)

No blog by me today. I purposely have not read Police Chief Olko’s blog and let her spread her own wings without my amateur comments. Just caught up reading her post this morning, and highly recommend to ye faithful blog readers. Way to go Chief, keep the public informed. P.S. I didn’t find the post [...]
