1 p.m. A purse was stolen out of a car.

2:41 p.m. A man in a cowboy hat was cruising around town in a wrecked car. The reporting party couldn’t tell what type of car it was because the front end was destroyed.

3:46 p.m. A Kalispell man called 911 because he found a grenade in his dad’s gun safe. He didn’t know if the grenade was live or dead nor did he know what to do with it.

4:04 p.m. A generator was stolen in Kalispell.

4:10 p.m. A Kalispell boy was teasing his younger brother by threatening to call the cops on him for some imagined criminal offense. The boy even went as far as dialing 911 on his cell phone. The boy apparently took it too far when he hit the call button and actually called 911.

4:56 p.m. A Kalispell man was frustrated that he could not take his “trash” to the county dump. Upon further review, the man was trying to throw out an entire motorhome.

10:12 p.m. A man riding Amtrak to Seattle got off the train in Whitefish to go for a walk and stretch his legs. When he got back to the station, the Amtrak train was gone. Making matters worse, the man’s wallet was on the train.

6:09 a.m. Some items were missing from a Columbia Falls hardware story.

6:57 a.m. Someone started a small grassfire near Kalispell. The dispatcher could hear a lot of swearing in the background as the reporting party described what had happened.

7:44 a.m. There was a deer in a ditch.

7:45 a.m. A Kalispell man frantically called 911 when he discovered an elderly woman was unconscious. However, right in the middle of the 911 call, the elderly woman woke up and appeared to be fine. She was quite chatty.

2:34 p.m. A local man called 911 because he could hear someone “ripping and roaring” down in the gravel pit and he wanted whoever was down there to “knock it off.”

4:42 p.m. A Bigfork man hosting a family reunion called 911 because his neighbor was firing off his machine gun “right over us.” The caller said he yelled as loud as he could for them to stop but he’s pretty sure they didn’t hear him.

9:11 p.m. A man and a woman were hanging out in an area fountain. Police advised the couple that “a fountain is not a good place to hang out.”

I've noticed that there are an abundance of people up there who a.) Have an Apple Watch, and b.) Manage to dial 911 on it.

I’m thinking about moving to the Great Falls area once I've got a decent pile of cash, build a home/industrial garage duplex, and just prepare for the end times. :p

Back in October I  picked up a pair of axles for my MJ from an older gentleman down in Ronan. Beautiful area... but I can totally see all that happening.

The name  originates from a slightly derogatory name used for the local native Americans.
