Green stuff... a kick in the head... U R Dead... hypochondria on U.S. 93 South...

Let's take a break from our mundane cares to check out — as we often do on this blog — who's been calling the police in Montana:
An irate motorist on Helena Flats Road reported a big sprayer truck spraying green stuff all over and was adamant the [activity] be stopped. It was eventually discovered the truck was only spraying grass seeds and mulch.

A Martin City man was knocked unconscious when his daughter kicked him in the head. When he came to, she was kicking him in the face. He refused medical treatment....

An astute Elk Trail woman in Whitefish suspected her ex after finding “U R Dead” scratched into the hood of her vehicle....

A hypochondriac on U.S. 93 South asked a passerby to call 911 after he stepped on a thermometer, claiming he now had mercury poisoning. The passerby reported the man smelled like alcohol and was hard to understand, and all the passerby could see was wrong with the man was that he was dizzy.

Evansville Watch is still the best.

"Dispatched: Customer trouble at Laundry & Tan Express – 2020 Covert Ave..Can’t get an intoxicated man to get out of the tanning bed. #ewatch"

"Large semi truck heading north on green river, right before Millersburgh rd. carrying half of a house."

"Intoxicated man on the lot of Walgreens - St Joe Ave. Man has the hood up on his car and is yelling at people for jumper cables."

Considering the 7th Cavalry died making Montana safe. they must be wondering if it was worth the effort.

Hey - Montana is great. Heading back up there for maybe half a year (I am not the wimpy one who insists on fleeing south every winter). Will be maybe 3-4 hours from there, in an even smaller town.

What is great about the police reports in small towns is how mundane they mostly are. In big cities, the police don't bother responding to a lot of this stuff, as they are tied up working on much worse crime.

Right you are. My Mother taught school for 26 yrs in the little town of Ashmore, Ill near us where the highlight of the year was the annual ritual break-in and theft at the only gas station in town after it was closed for the night, lol.

I bet there's an interesting story behind that.

When I read "Laundry & Tan Express" I thought: WTF?

But before I commented I thought I'd google it. Found out there are combination laundromat + tanning salon operations all over the country.

So now I'm thinking: WTF? Seriously, W. T. F-ing. F.?
