Observe and report

I’ve happened upon Spokane quite a few times while flipping through channels during the past few weeks …

There was the local Jeopardy gal. (Go, smart girls!)

Then there was a rerun of Antiques Roadshow . (One of the driest shows on television, and yet, every week I tune in.)

And a few days later a Spokane couple’s home was featured on HGTV’s If Walls Could Talk . (I’ve since driven around a few neighborhoods trying to figure out which house was theirs. No luck.)

Then, last night, Eric flipped to the G4 network and let out a squeal of delight that could mean only one of two things: Ninja Warrior was on, or, a Spokane criminal had been taken down on Cops . Ninja Warrior was not on the screen when I walked into the living room.

Instead, a tweaker sporting a Sideshow Bob ‘do, a ratty flannel and one hell of a belt buckle was wrestling with a couple of Spokane’s finest.

Tune in next week, folks … It’s things like this make a local proud.
