Quick law enforcement action stopped theft
Thanksgiving and Christmas have come early for me this year, compliments of the Greensboro Police Department. On Oct. 22, a man took our company truck and trailer containing everything we use to make a living: two mowers, blowers, weed trimmers and a toolbox full of other equipment. My husband saw the perpetrator, jumped on the trailer (yes, he is my Superman) and dialed 911 on his cell phone.
With the combined efforts of me, my husband and the dispatchers at 911, within 10 minutes the department was on a high-speed chase that ended in a foot chase and apprehension of the perpetrator.
Although this was a distressing event, my husband is safe, alive and well, and our business is intact. We extend a sincere, heartfelt thanks to all the officers involved, including Officers Alexander, Tuck and Smith of the city; the sheriff’s deputies who responded; and the calm, focused, dispatchers at 911. We are proud to be served by such efficient and caring individuals who know how to work as a team. Keep up the good work!

Obama needs to talk to his people . . .
. . . that wasn't his idea of redistribution of wealth . . .
. . . or maybe it was . . .

JPRT's presentation is crude, but the meaning is sound. A major point of this election, too.
Individuals taking citizens' private property by force to distribute as taker sees fit = bad
Government taking citizens' private property by force to distribute as taker sees fit = good
We signed the permission slip last night.
Yes, they can.

R. you seem to have no problem with the government giving your money to the rich, financial institutions, oil companies, Haliburton, the war industry, a bridge to no where...why does it bother you to give a pittance to the poor?
Do you think the last 8 years have benefited you in any way? Please list the ways for me.

Still waiting, R

Where have I ever suggested any of it is greater than bad? Sorry it has to be this blunt Carol, but what the heck are you talking about?

Sorry I wasn't on schedule, btw. Might I suggest allowing someone at least twelve full hours, perhaps four of them in daylight, before criticisms begin?

Sorry, R...as an old retired gal, I get up early. Am waiting for it to warm up a bit before I tackle the bezillion leaves that fall each night.
I just get tired of people saying all this stuff that will happen if the liberals get control. I have seen nothing conservative happen in the last years. I also don't expect miracles to occur with Obama. Hopefully he will do the best he can and try to keep his campaign promises. But you never know. Once in power, strange things happen to people.
From the mailings and phone calls I got from the Republican party, I can expect the liberals to come knocking on my door to take my guns, Bill Ayers to start bombing again, with the blessings of Obama, God to be taken out of my life, my taxes to increase, and on and on.
Just thankful it is over; and we will all have to live with the consequences, just like we did with Bush.
