Hey everyone, (Those that are left) Where has everyone disappeared to? Now I feel that I have a pretty good excuse. My computer time is limited and I am on the road more than at home (329 days out last year) and cannot post very often. But the rest of everybody, Whats up? Other than […]
Just a few pics of the aftermath.
PD Bob claims that “Ground Hog” is just another name for a “Prairie Dog” and he’s not happy…… Seems like that’s a derogatory insult to a Prairie Dog and he wants to start a campaign to get the day renamed to “Prairie Dog Day”….. He’s also planning a big party for all the local PD’s….. […]
