A 17-year-old on the 1800 block of Mesquite Court locked herself in a closet at 1:52 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5, because there were “two Middle Eastern men trying to get into her house.” She said that they were trying to get into the backyard.

"Oh great! First walking around disoriented and now in a car."

I have the distinct feeling she may be suffering from the effects of her previous medical bill.

"May 'The Triangle' be with you."

To the caller: "C'mon now, was this guy really bothering you?"

Betting on wheelchair races will no longer be allowed after this incident!

However it was dooley noted that representatives from their rival Concast, were in the area, offering a one year free subscription by hooking the cable into your neighbors Comcast network.

- By knowing the need to either lose weight or gain a firm muscular body, the ice cream vendor returned with Low Carb, sugar free, multi-vitamin popsicles at discount prices. The vendor thought he would be welcomed. Unfortunately, the police are involved now.
