Excerpts from a summer's police blotters in the boondocks... c'mon up sometime and spend a summer of fun! All those snapshots of idyllic little villages in the mountains are only the half of it.
We can only rarely get it together to commit any first degree offenses here in the sticks... except maybe criminal contempt and DWIs, and bear in mind it wasn't THAT many decades ago we had a good ol' boy DA went on record saying he'd "sooner spit on the sidewalk" than write up a DWI since by his lights driving under the influence was often enough just a rite of passage. Yeah... and there could still be a picture of him up on the wall in some sheriffs' offices, even if the rest of us may have offenders' pics up on a mental "most dangerous" list.
That said, herewith this year's summer of fun despite covid-19:
