“ 6:49 p.m. A man wanted advice for dealing with the cat stuck on his roof.”

Clearly, the man should tie two dogs together and put them on his roof to take care of that cat .

Whoo boy this is a weird one today. And you weren’t even involved. Unless this was you:

“ 1:33 a.m. Someone drove up to a house, rang the doorbell and left a tube of mascara. The incident was captured on a doorbell camera.”

Wonder if the doorbell cam will show an old Datsun.

“ 9:43 a.m. Some teens were talking to strangers on the internet.”

Honestly that has described a lot of Oppos over the years. Didn’t know it was a crime.

And I’d like to think it was just one cat in all of the situations. The fat cat got catnapped by some druggies and killed a chicken.

And can we please talk about this:

7:41 a.m. A caller witnessed a speeding motorcycle hit a deer, possibly on purpose

This isn't Mad Max. You can't easily run over a deer with a motorcycle. What on earth?

Accidental chainsaw operation often leads to needing to call 911, so no surprise here.

We're trying as fast as we can, it's a big country, takes a long time to loot, pillage, and burn down all of it.

Not trash, per se. Just Akio parking his  latest project. Easy mistake.

Throwing stuff roadside ok when you have numbers on you. Race and stuff.

But this guy does it at 01:00. Beer cans?

That said, this years TdF limits ejection of pocket trash to dedicated zones. Right before feed zones I imagine. Bottles, however, are great souvenirs and changed often. Few are left on the ground.

it is my understanding the the “defund the police” folks are less about abolishing police, and more about making the appropriate group deal with a lot of the very non-policy calls.

one assumes the police fed and watered the puppy regardless of their responsibilities though

Only in the Netherlands.

Because in the US the ring would be on fire and be for discarding cyclists you've run over.

Instead of taking a dump in the box (stools hehe) he placed the suitcase full of [redacted] in there.

Yes, I would think so. In other news, a man building a shelf accidentally called 911 and proclaimed, "help I accidentally build a shelf."

I think they mean the motorcyclist was speeding through the air long after the bike stopped with the deer.

Ever seen the first Mad Max? He probably thought he was the Night Rider and quickly realized he wasn't.

What kind of Karen sees a motorcyclist splat against a deer and thinks it was on purpose? Weird way to try to commit suicide.

sooooo what your saying is that in the us thered be a pile of bodies all around it but the net would be fairly empty?

seent it

but tbh... i know a lot of riders....and some of them are certifiable

i dont think any of them would intentionally hit anything

Yes.

I saw a bike lane crossing sign painted on the ground in A tlanta recently with some red spray paint for utilities perfectly positioned to turn it into a sign about where to run over bikers. That red smear coming from the head down the chest looked suggestive of most car drivers' attitudes towards bikers around here.

The world's heaviest motorcycle weighs over a ton. The average Harley plus rider comes in at half a ton (450 kg). An average deer weighs 43 kilos. Maybe that would work.

I get this . Dogs have a “business” bark. In my experience it’s usually for raccoon sightings, though.

I have not watched the tour in years, I was glued to the race during the Lance years. They used to show it on cable tv live every day, it was so fun to watch.

Including for company complaint lines. McDonalds shake machine down? 911. Grocery store rang the same item twice and double charged you? 911. I honestly wonder how some people manage to get through life without accidentally killing themselves by forgetting to breathe or something

11:18 a.m. A man had a bag full of ammo he was trying to get rid of.

This man does not know what he has. Either that or he does and it’s some super obscure pre WWII Japanese caliber. Because if that i s anything common he could easily sell it for like $100.

TdF c overage in the USA sux but it’s better than the other races . Snippets and daily log at https://www.letour.fr/en Back in the 70s, though, all we had were monthly Bike World or Bicycling subscriptions. Velo News came along as a breath of fresh air but is now a paywalled mess.

I have not read velo news in years, I used to get their magazine! I was a fan of cyclingnews for a long time, I don’t know if they are still going strong. I mainly read Pinkbike anymore, it’s not for roadies  but it has a great comments section.

I don’t get that one - clearly, he was returning the bathrobe to the department store where he bought it, and the suitcase was a change of clothes to wear on the way back home.

It’s a really great Tour so far this year. They basically have mountains almost the whole way. It’s a brutal Tour for the non-climbers - but fun for fans!
