Hump Day Wild Card — 9.30.09

I'll bid adieu this evening with the Post Falls police in hot pursuit of yet another Oxycontin robber who fled Walgreen's on foot about a half hour ago. Seemed like a fairly routine day in our little bit of paradise until the robbery occurred. Then, Scanner Traffic is like that. Things are going along routine -- a road hazard here and a DUI driver there -- and then, wham-o, something big happens. Same goes for Huckleberries Online. I don't even know when something's going to hit my e-mail, the comments thread, or cyberspace that's going to turn everything here on its head. But that's why you check in daily, right? And it's why I enjoy getting up in the morning. Now, I'll replay the Wild Card ...
