Crime Reports

Quote of the day:

"The White House refused Wednesday to comment on the case. "It is an ongoing investigation and, as such, all questions should be directed to the F.B.I.," said Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman. Richard Kolko, an F.B.I. special agent, said, "We're going to do a full investigation of the entire time he had access to any classified or sensitive information, and in the course of the investigation, we will do all due diligence to determine if any other improper activity occurred."

Another White House Official the subject of Federal Investigation. This article refers to spying allegations levied against former Vice Presidential Aide. NYTimes, 10/06/05


Today's Blog:
Here are a bunch of shots taken during the last week...including a trip up to the top of Calispel Peak that we took with JoAnne who is a local public safety official. Our trip was necessary after someone stole a bunch of solar panels that power our county's emergency services radio network...In order to fill out the police report, JoAnne needed the serial numbers of the panels that remained...and yeah, it was as cold as it looked up there.

Winter is supposed to be bad this year...

The Katrina pictures are from contributor Randy Wallace...Shot in Mississippi....

Note to everyone...I will be offline for the next several days...

Prayer Requests:

For Ron who is about to conquer Wyoming in an Airstream...

For Monty who had a hip replacement on Thursday...So far so good...

For JoAnne's father Clarence, aka "Bob" who is facing life threatening medical issues...

For my roommate Paul...Who has just had a week from hell...

For "the other" Paul's father

For Stacy and Chris-who face frightening health challenges. For their kids Madison and Christopher that they may know God is watching over their parents...

For Bobbi that her pregnancy continues without complications...Bobbi carries a boy.

For Brooke who just had a baby girl. We dance and sing with celebration at the birth of Charlotte Price. Born October 4th at 1:15 pm. Charlotte weighed 7lbs, 9 ounces, was 19 inches long, and is just plain perfect. We send love to Donna and Brooke and prayers of thanks for her safe arrival.
