One of the things I like to do religiously is read my hometown newspaper online.  It’s published every Wednesday, and I have a routine, starting with boring business news, and ending with the obituaries.  It’s generally a pretty dry read, there’s not a whole lot going on in good ol’ Lincoln City.  Oh, except for this excerpt from the current issue’s Public Safety log:

7:39 p.m. Domestic at Taft Trailer Park, 5100 block of S.E. Highway 101. Caller reported that subject was drunk and disorderly and that she was throwing ash trays, cups and skillets at him. He said he was hit with the objects and said “ow” several times. Disposition: Parties separated.

Cop: “And you said she was throwing items at you, is that correct?”

Guy: “Yes sir, that’s correct.  Throwing them hard.  Ashtrays, cups, skillets–you name it, she threw it.”

Cop: “Were you struck by any of these items?”

Guy: “Yes I was.”

Cop:  “What did you do when this happened?”

Guy: “Well, officer, I said ‘ow’.  Several times, actually.”

Yep.  That’s my home town.  It’s a hotbed, alright.

Tschuss!!
