“8:23 a.m. Dalton Gardens woman wants to see an officer re: children going through her mailbox after school.”

How big is her mailbox, and how did these kids fit through it?

Are they ghostly children? In that case wouldn’t the mailbox be going through them?

This isn’t how I wanted to make it on HBO today DFO. One of those dogs knocked over my son and was trying to drag him off by his coat sleeve. :( Hopefully they caught those dogs-the one that did the dragging was a 2-tone brown breed about 40 lbs.

Shannon; sorry to hear about your son’s close encounter with two big dogs. As an adult who was knocked down and bitten by a rottweiler a coupla years ago, I know how scary a dog attack can be. I hope Junior is OK. Keep us posted if you hear anything about the loose Huskies.

You know it’s a quiet day, when around 11:30 am this morning, a doe ambled up lime Kiln here in Bayview, seemingly without a care in the world. When deer in town aren’t spooked during mid-day, you know it’s dead, dead, dead.

I hit a wild turkey a few years ago. I was west of Farragut on Hwy 54, doing about 60 when here out of the corner of my eye, I spotted something. It hit my left headlight assembly, crushing it, then did about three whifferdils up in the air and came to rest somewhere behind me. They fly like pheasant. low to the ground and they are hard to spot, let alone dodge…
