11:15 p.m. There’s an illegal “pit” at Black Bay Park/Post Falls — a fire pit, I suppose, rather than a pitbull (which probably should be designated illegal).
10:56 a.m. A 21YO female @ the county jail is reacting to an overdose of amphetamine.
10:22 a.m. A vehicle has hit a bicyclist in front of Global Credit Union @ 3160 Seltice Way/Post Falls.
10:15 a.m. A husband is calling from One Shot Charlie’s in Harrison to report that his wife has suffered a right-knee injury in a bike crash on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, a half mile south of Harrison toward Plummer. The husband rode into town to get help.
9:40 a.m. A group of Coeur d’Alene Indian drummers are leading the procession for the annual North Idaho College commencement exercises.
Man, lots of bike accidents on Bike to Work week. I almost caused an automobile accident this morning while riding my bike into work. I was on Upriver Drive just east of Avista headquarters, and I dropped my water bottle. It rolled out across both lanes of traffic and I cannot believe that the cars swerved and almost collided just to avoid hitting my water bottle… Heck, I probably would have hit it.
