@ibRAD Its just for few seconds, then some hollerin... then sirens.... oh 😛

@Highlander How much smoked meat processing goes on inside the manager's home? Seems like a losing strategy.

@Urambo-Tauro — Meanwhile, some years ago on I-40 in the eastern boondocks of New Mexico, my wife was once near the front of traffic stopped by the state troopers because of two longhorn steers running loose on the freeway. A deputy sheriff was summoned, personal horse and stock trailer and all, to rope the things and take them someplace better. I'd assume he also had a good idea who in the area raised longhorns and needed to do some literal as well as metaphorical fence mending...

@facw The neighbors called the fire department on me a couple summers ago. Really pissed me off. There was no smoke or anything to bother them except for a small glow coming from the back yard. They were just being grumpy bitches.

@Highlander It amazes me when people complain about kids being kids, like... were you never a kid? How did you forget what childhood is like? The hypocrisy of people who know darn well that they were once kids...

easy to do

@Highlander I thought that was Dallas?

@Roadkilled So it is, somehow I missed his response. He lost his suit for what that's worth.

I will give him credit for immediately securing the firearm and checking if anyone else was hurt before worrying about his own foot.

But yeah, I suspect he needed a refresher course.

@Highlander said in Flathead County Police blotter:

he will be outside like this for several hours…

As a good snow dog should.

@CarsOfFortLangley I'd be getting a shovel ready to bury the evidence.

Maybe we should get a second smoke detector in case that one trips out on us

@highlander Well if Dave Barry does: I think the one way grocery store aisles were great, and I'm annoyed they got rid of them!

@ita97

Sounds like an alternate ending to a grim Caddyshack.

@snuze I have no idea.

7:45 p.m. A man who left his car unlocked with the keys inside during his shift at work found his car was gone.

GENIUS!

@cb Was it the same vehicle?

@highlander You should bring the Datsun. Looks like a pretty good mix of cars there from some cursory internet browsing.

I won't be there tomorrow as the design-build I've been doing has been behind schedule and tomorrow is the last day we'll really get to work on it.

@highlander Yeah, that does look like a better match.

Personally I think if you are going to dunk your truck, you should use this one on the other side of the marina:

Looks like many fewer people to see how much of an idiot you are.

@highlander This instalment is chock full of gold!

@dipodomysdeserti said in Flathead County Police Blotter?:

@whoistheleader I stopped in Wye, Montana, for gas the other day. There was a strip club in the parking lot of the gas station, and a casino at a Hardy’s. Everyone in town seemed to be related.

I feel like there's a correlation, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

@highlander said in Flathead county police blotter:

9:21 p.m. A caller sick of the “nonsense going on downtown” wanted their complaint noted.

Can't have that nonsense! Some kid walking down the street reciting jabberwocky or something! Next thing you know they'll be wearing their shoes on the wrong feet!

@highlander said in Flathead County Police Blotter:

@trivet Excellent!

Thanks. Glad to know that Zoom call I was one today wasn’t a complete waste of time 😁

@facw It'll have cooled and be safe to sell by the time they're in demand

@silentbutnotreallydeadly I’d say less crazy. Summers are off the hook.

A man who was kicked off the train for not wearing a mask while ordering a glass of wine wanted to know what his options were.

Everytime I read these, i think "Meth, dementia or insanity"

I think insanity because you'd have to be insane (somewhat) to manage to graft these demented little stories from the notes the actual dispatchers write down as all these amazing events happen...

That question could be asked of every item in the blotter.

@farscythe they might have been "looking at trees" while Black.

There are no black people in Kalispell.

@exage03040 man it'd be cool if I could sing. The singer guess who also makes me think that
