    The other morning, around 5:30am, the fire dept was paged to look for a red/orange glow on the east side of highway. After a but of a search the firemen determined that the caller must've been looking at the beginning of the sunrise.

    It would be totally hilarious if dispatch didn't screw up and set off our ambulance pagers too.

    (Honestly though, I heard orange glow and then just went back to bed) :)

    Yes I listened to it when it was on the air live, great story. I guess I will have to go to the fair when I get home next week to say goodbye to the boys .

    Much respect to those on a VFD that have to respond to public demand.

    St Paul mayor Melvin Carter who refused to put $ in the budget to hire more police officers to combat the increasing crime issues in St Paul has set aside $100,000 of taxpayer $ to fund legal fees for immigrants legal or not. Wonder why cities have issues? You don't want to protect tax paying citizens but protect those that are not paying taxes, brilliant.

    It's about to get worse, flights from Mexico to Toronto are about 300 bucks. So since Trump has done a great job of enforcing immigration laws on the southern boarder. The folks are now flying to Canada and coming through the Northern Boarder. Being Canada does not require a VISA.

    First time ever I have seen this in Michigan.

    Thank you Canada!!!

    Cops think a series of armed robberies in the community I work are all related. Two of them resulted in murder; a father and son during home invasion, and a guy outside the store being robbed, simply waiting for his wife to come out after her shift ended. A buddy of mine knew the father and son murdered in their home. :(

    Random braking people. Sense a car 100 yes away? Brake. Increase your speed 1 mph around a curve? Brake. Get nervous? Brake.

    This isn't a new trick and one of the biggest reasons that a southern border wall is obsolete. We could put a fraction of that wall money into technology and manpower to have more secure borders.

    People who park in handicap spots "just to go into the store real quick" and people who park in the x'd off spaces next to them so that people can get out of their cars and into wheelchairs.

    Should be an automatic tow of a vehicle.

    I must view Tapatalk differently than you. I just view it like I do when I’m on the computer. I couldn’t handle reading through all the unread posts I don’t need to know about! Would certainly be something I rant about if I did though.

    50+ year old men, and I am using that term loosely, wearing skinny jeans. Meeting a customer at a coffee shop to get a contract signed when in walks a guy in his fifties wearing skinny jeans. Man card revoked, doubt he ever really had one.
