Earthquakes don't have exclusive dam destruction rights. Earthen dams have definitely failed before, due to flooding. I've seen it happen with me own two peepers.

We're Having A Contest...Give your 2 cents and win...
C_Watkins replied to westmetro's topic in Business NEWS
Lawdy lawdy. Several meaty ones do come to mind... but I'll pass. If you want the best, it's gotta be West. West Metro Meat and Produce (Obviously "If" could be replaced with "When" ; "want" could be replaced with "demand", "require", etc...) Meh. Just takin' a stab at it. For gawd's sakes, there's STEAKS on the line! -
I'd like to hear more details, there. Exactly how many accidents are we talking about? One would think if "too much information" had "caused" any accidents... we'd have heard. (I'm not sure how "too much information" can cause accidents, in the first place. I don't buy it.) If it's my family or friends in the wreck... I'd want to know it as soon as possible. That might be via phone call... but it might be via Pcom, TV news, radio or scanner. However I can get that information the quickest, it is most welcome, I assure you. I wouldn't want to find out about it two days after the

Oh, I know. I've heard it, too. They may even be telling the truth. (On officer quota's, specifically) It just doesn't do anything to help quell the perception, when they're out in force on the 31st Maybe it's not so much a quota thing... as in "per officer"... but a police department's way of going "oh crap", the last week, knowing what the average tickets per month is... and seeing that, as a whole... they're way under the average. Don't want to appear to be shirking your duty, and all. Bottom line, as always... don't speed and don't worry about it. Right?

There were three at the 'creek' on Hughes road, when I came home from work... writing tickets... and one of them was still there writing tickets when I came back through on the way to go trick-or-treating, over two hours later. Gotta hit those quotas, I guess (The speed limit through there is 35. Easy pickin's, fo sho.)

Oh, they definitely run it. It's just that some of them use the lack of a card as a revenue opportunity. Depends on who ya get. It's better to always carry the card anyhow... since it is the law and all After having to jump through a few hoops once, myself... I now have copies in my wallet as well as in my vehicles.

I believe the key words are "If possible", though. The wording is written for vehicles in motion, it seems. While sitting there, first at the light... there's usually nowhere to go without illegally entering the intersection, and if you DO make a move, and the emergency vehicle hits you... that'll be your fault, too. (Seen that one personally!) Oh, this one is a big pet peeve of mine. The year they announced that... there were actually commercials running where the person who got pulled over would present their insurance card, and the officer would laugh and say "what's tha

Glad you lived to tell. Welcome -
At the same time, there are exceptions, at least in my book. Most of our neighbors are extremely quiet all the time. I wouldn't dream of calling the police out for the odd dance party or holiday celebration. Does it mean my sleep might be interrupted three or four times a year? Yeah. So what? Is it annoying at the time? Yeah, it might be. To me, it's just not that big a deal. I may want to celebrate something myself, someday. It would be different if it was a habitual pattern of behaviour, that affected me more than a few times a year.

STAT Codes
C_Watkins replied to gwilli8866's topic in NEW Scanning the County - Emergency Services radio Traffic Reports
10-6 is busy, 10-8 is back in service, 10-7 is out of service, etc... Not sure about the 'status' codes. -

C_Watkins replied to gpatt0n's topic in Welcome and learn about the NEW Paulding.com
It's over and done with already. Just a minor update to 2.2.2.
