Ha...If I had the time, I'd read the newspaper. Have been debating getting the Sunday edition, but I'm just not home enough to read it. This morning we were in the mountains, no newspaper-reading there!<br /><br />But, I love the police blotter, and I'm glad I can read it online. Here are two entries from yesterday. I can't help but laugh, more at the writing style than anything else.<br /><br />Police got a report on Friday from a 65-year-old man who said a 57-year-old male friend had assaulted him, but officers said an investigation revealed that the 57-year-old had acted in self defense and that the alleged victim's assault complaint was unfounded.<br /><br />A woman called police Friday to say that her 40-year-old female friend had been assaulted by a 49-year-old woman and a man on the 10 block of Ninth Avenue. However, police said the victim wouldn't cooperate with the investigation, and they categorized the case as "exceptionally cleared."Susabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028522408918172500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132314347097229163.post-56483327101251385202011-11-04T15:37:42.675-04:002011-11-04T15:37:42.675-04:00before i retired in 2006 we got the news paper and...before i retired in 2006 we got the news paper and i read most of it, a month after i retired i realized i was not reading it so stopped it. i get my news off the internet. never have read a paper from another city. when my kids were small, i got up at 5 to have and hour and half alone with coffee and newspaper. but not now. to busy withe email.blogs.photography. my dad was like you, he had a fit if anyone touched his paper and until he was done with it. as he finished a section we were allowed to touch it, but not until he finished. he started at the front and went page by page. i always went to the Local/comics/then scanned the front section and obitsMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.com
