My sister Kristeen and her husband John have bought a home and land in Woodlake. Congratulations to them both! It’s a really cool place they’re going to love it. Pool parties!

Last few minutes at work, first day back after a short vacation. Not a very busy night, thank goodness. One crazy call late, guy calling a small Texas Police Department and making obscene comments to the dispatcher. They called us after they tracked down the cell phone’s location and asked us to see if we could find him. He’s apparently made dozens of calls to them tonight, saying he “wanted pussy”, in both english and spanish. I left before he was located, so I don’t know if we solved that problem or not. You just never know what will pop up.

Mars is more than a red dot in the night sky. It’s a real place. We can go there.

Here’s Ted and I at the front lobby of the Cow Palace, waiting for the opening ceremonies to begin. Can you tell we’re both running on almost no sleep? Huge crowd, I’ll have some videos later of the riderless bike, and the start of the ride.

When half of your jurisdiction is mountains, you need the right equipment!
Used in parades and other events, it’s also used in actual responses in the mountains, for search and rescue.
