There’s a large cow at 9:58, going e/b on Boyles; the large cow finally makes it to the Hayden Pet Medical Center at 10:27 - half an hour later. Open the doors! Obviously the large cow is somebody’s pet cow!

That cow gets around.

I’m glad to see that the cow kept its Vet appointment despite the wintry weather conditions.

“8:17 a.m. A clerk from Handy Mart on Spokane/Post Falls reports that a man in a vehicle registered to a Coeur d’Alene address was so drunk he could hardly walk.”

Not to worry. He apparently wasn’t trying to walk. He drove his car instead.
