This is a really short one.
My brother Mark sent me the following breaking news from our hometown newspaper. Yes, these are real bits of news from the sheriff's department from a real newspaper from a real town in Northwest Kansas. And this is why I loved growing up there.
THOMAS COUNTY SHERIFF
Tuesday
9:43 a.m. - Funeral block.
10:53 a.m. - Funeral block.
11:42 a.m. - Horse out on U.S. 24 east of County Rd 23. Horse out in a corn field when sheriff arrived; possible owner contacted.
12:10 p.m. - Elderly lady going eastbound in the westbound lane, not found.
Of course, you have to realize that Tuesday is typically the busiest day of the week in Colby, Kansas. And that's all I have to say about that.
Holy hell. I didn't know there was more than one place like that on Earth. I live in the other. Big news this week~~~Police kill raccoon suspected of being sick. No shit.

I think that old lady just passed me on the freeway.

They better find that old lady soon! Maybe she's the one that took the horse out to the cornfield.

Did Mark send you the one from May where there were 6, 600 lb cows missing? It was in the lost and found ad! I'm not kidding! honestly how do you lose one cow, let alone 6 of them that each weigh 600lbs??? that really made me laugh~ i can see the owner now "i swear, i'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on to my body... i know i just had those cows!!!"

Does Mark live in Colby again or just get the paper? I still get reports from Mom and my brother Mark who does still live there. Exciting place!!!

No Mark lives in Seattle. He just sends me updates on the most important stuff.

News that you get from the real newspaper from a real town in Northwest Kansas,it can be handy and the purpose of sending i didn't understand,otherwise the news can become handy for the future and specially for the knowledge that even some times you want to tell other one about this,so you can do it easily,and definitely it was the busiest day,because you have to look out on the news and on its factors.
