Scanner Reports 7-17-19

There sure are a lot of drunk drivers out there. Some people blame the homeless for all the problems we have here. It’s not them, it’s all it’s all the drunks. If we did not have alcohol in this city, all the bars and liquor stores were to close, the jail would be empty. And that is the Dog’s honest truth! There is too many drunks in this town; drunk drivers, abusive drunks beating their wives, husbands, kids, drunks committing sex offenses, crimes, arson, burglary. If they were to take a census of everyone locked up in the jail that broke the law, they would find over 75 percent at least that did it under the influence of alcohol. I guess ten grand isn’t enough of a fine for first timer drunk driver. Those fines should be jacked up to fifty grand or 18 months in prison, first offense. That would slow down these idiots from getting behind the wheel to drive. Make it for everyone, not just the regular citizens but public figures too. I hear one out there gets special treatment almost every time. It’s not going to help nothing. Pretty soon their kids are going to be without a parent. Drinking kills, it don’t make you healthy. Wanna be healthy, drink smoothies, wheat grass, spinach, beets, and bananas, lay off the booze. That only gets you in trouble, or dead.

I was thinkin the other day about this place I used to go as a kid. I sure do miss it. It was in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a coffee house, I doubt it’s there anymore, it was in this section of town called The Landing, a one block section of Old Fort Wayne. It was called The Blue Mountain Coffee House. It was made of pine, it was beautiful. Folks would show up and play music mostly Folk I wish there was a place like that out here, I might leave the house more. I have never found another place exactly like it. Muddy Waters was a little like it.

Sure are a lot of ants around, can’t seem to get rid of them for nothing. They just keep coming back like sober folks going to an AA meeting.

It’s too bad we don’t all have computer chips in us that could somehow alert law enforcement when we drive under the influence. It’d be easier to catch the drunk driving creeps that way.
