I am currently in Mariposa, CA, a town whose police blotter is so ridiculous that it’s apparently been featured on Leno. The highlights from recent issues:
•There was a horrible odor in a house on Buckeye Road.
•There were rocks on Highway 140.
•A red-tailed hawk was in a house on Yosemite Oaks Road.
•A fence was vandalized in Coulterville.
•A tree was across Triangle Road.
•A lawn was on fire on Red Cloud Mine Road.
•There was a cow problem on Highway 49 South.
•A person was reportedly disoriented on Indian Peak Road.
•Someone found a tent on McMahon Road.
•A burning smell was reported on Coyote Court.

Police blotters are great entertainment! Whenever I’m down on myself and need to feel smarter, quicker, faster, or nicer, the first place I go is the blotter! I post entries from Denton, TX from time to time. My readers love ’em! 🙂
