While many locals were surprised to learn that coyotes live among us earlier this year, over in the Valley, Augusta County has had a bounty for killing the wily beasts, budgeting $10,000 annually, the News Virginian reports. At a August 12 meeting, one of the supes questioned whether the bounty really protects lifestock, and suggested discontinuing it. (0)

A trash truck suffered a malfunction Wednesday morning that coated the intersection of University Avenue and the Corner Parking Lot with hydraulic fluid, according to an officer working the scene. Eastbound traffic slowed, and westbound traffic was detoured onto nearby 14th Street during the August 12 incident, whose remedy included application of an absorbent compound. The vehicles cleared around 9am. (Still bearing the imprint of BFI, the truck may now belong to Allied Waste, which belongs to Republic Services.) (0)

If you’re lucky enough to have this in your yard, it has nothing to do with dogs or vomit, and you may want to scramble it with your eggs tomorrow morning the way the Mexicans do, considered a culinary delicacy called ” “caca de luna”.
One other factoid–it inspired the movie, ” The Blob “

How is it that Sick of the Local Rambo’s hasn’t hijacked this thread yet? Seems like exactly his sort of thing. Maybe some long tirade on how police blah blah blah… did him wrong and made him sick…
what will it look like after the sun melts it?

Had a rookie make a deposit like this on the side of the road one night. It was the first fatal crash the rookie had ever responded to. Even worse yet, a volunteer with the rescue squad came along and slipped in the stuff. He ended up with a twisted ankle.
Ssshhh, CC, keep it down! Sick is home asleep in his little jammies, dreaming that he’s a sheriff in the old Wild West with a gen-u-wine tin star on his chest and a six-shooter at his waist. When that mean ol’Bad Bart comes to town, Sheriff Sick is gonna show all the other deputies who’s boss when he takes that no-good hombre down.
Or maybe he’s dreaming he’s an outer space Bounty Hunter tracking down alien evildoers in his rocket ship (but never chasing them so recklessly that they smash into any innocent asteroids, because that would be irresponsible).
sometimes reality sucks, but this time i loved it
