RILEY AT 4 WEEKS OLD

WHAT DOES IT TAKE...AKA...CHARLES BRONSON WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU

I just read the article about the gunman who had AN EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL HISTORY AND WAS OUT ON PAROLE FOR ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. It seems that he killed 3 Oakland officers and seriously wounded another.

So I'm sitting here wondering why he was out in the first place. Who were the ones who released him to prey on society again.

If you have read this blog for a while you might remember the break-in at the funeral home where I almost shot the suspect. Go here for that story. At the time of the break-in he already had been convicted and sentenced to 20 years BUT a local judge had suspended 19 years and 6 months of the sentence. He was out on probation at that time. Now in Virginia if your probation is violated you are SUPPOSE to serve the part of your sentence that was suspended.

Now for the rest of the story...this weekend we stopped a pickup for doing 44 in a 25 MPH zone. The driver begged us not to give him another ticket...seems like he had just wrecked and rolled his truck, was facing another speeding ticket in an adjacent town and was afraid that if we gave him this one it MIGHT violate his probation that he was on for breaking into the funeral home a few years back.


Justice may be blind but sometimes I think she's also deaf and dumb.

Now I understand why some police officers get so burnt out.

And Again One More Time AKA Another Lost Hound

For some reason I seem to be a lost Hound magnet.

This hungry hound showed up the other day at my son's where I babysit. She has evidently been lost for some time as she is practically nothing but skin and bones.


Unfortunately while she has one of those fancy orange and reflective collars on there is a big hole where the brass nameplate should be.

It looks like she'll be around for a while so I took a large bag of dog food down this morning when I reported in for my babysitting shift.

SCENES FROM OUR MORNING WALK

Dear Mr. Obama

Be sure and watch it all the way through.

SEA SERPENTS, LAKE MONSTERS, AND CREEK CREATURES

Deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in the sleepy little town of Coeburn, a sinister creature has been making unexpected appearances in the center of town. Several unconfirmed sightings have been reported by reliable witnesses but until the Chief of Police took the above photo on his BlackBerry during the towns 4th of July celebration no one could produce hard evidence of the existence of a creature called Tommy the Creek Monster.

Some reports describe it as long and rat like but about 10 times the size of a normal creek rat. One witness said it had the body about the size of a large dog but with extremely short stubby legs. All of the witnesses who have seen it say that it lives in the weedy creek bed of Little Toms Creek that runs through the center of town.

No one can say for sure what happened to them but several wild ducks that were living in the creek have mysteriously disappeared. Also the large population of stray dogs that ran around town has also disappeared.

Below is an artist's rendition of Tommy based on witness descriptions.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES...

Mountain Lion Hoax in Virginia

Mountain Lion (near Wise, VA)

This lion was hit between Cherry Reservoir Road and High Knob area (near Wise, VA) by a car. Game and Fish had to come and put him down. He charged at the Fish and Game guy in the process. Look at his PAWS!.
Bill Shaeffer and Frank Womack helped with the capture

Dear Harold,

The reported recovery of a cougar by VA Department of Game and Inland Fisheries staff near Big Cherry Reservoir in Wise County is a hoax. The lion pictured was actually killed by a vehicle in Arizona earlier this year. The man in the photos is Arizona DPS Officer Ellico. Visit these links to see news stories written about these pictures that were revealed as hoaxes in West Virginia and Kentucky.

I don't know who Bill Shaeffer or Frank Womack are, but they don't work for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. If someone with DGIF had been called about this as was stated in the email, that person would have been Johnny Wills, Wise County District Biologist, or Tim Hayes, Wise County Conservation Police Officer. Neither responded to any such situation. As an additional bit of info, note the deer racks in the background of the first photo. They are mule deer racks.

Please call me if you have any questions.
