FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES!!!


Hmmm...  Not the brightest folks here.  As usual, alcohol is involved.

 

From the Green Bay Press Gazette police blotter section:

 

Criminal damage: Two 23-year-old men who had been drinking were acting suspicious Thursday in the parking lot of the Green Bay Police Department, 307 S. Adams St. When asked what they were doing, one man said they were taking pictures. A camera contained 25 images, some showing the men walking over the hood and roof of a squad car and urinating on a police truck. Police found dents in a squad car, with footprints matching the shoes of one suspect.

Only (...and I mean only with all the love of...Oh never mind...) in Northern Michigan

TWO ARRESTED AFTER POLICE SAY THEY STOLE A VEHICLE THEN CRASHED IT

http://www.9and10news.com/category/story/?id=154043
Two people arrested for stealing a vehicle in Evart have police looking
into their possible connection to other area break-ins. It started when
someone reported their car stolen. As police were headed to the scene,
they found it involved in a crash. A juvenile who was hurt in the
accident was taken to the hospital, then arrested. Police also arrested
another suspect, who is now in jail.

And because people in Northern Michigan dream big and proceed small..... it will take more than this:

NEW PLANS FOR DOWNTOWN MANISTEE
In an effort to boost downtown business, Manistee is working on some new
plans. Some downtown stores had a rough winter, but all are hoping for a
successful summer. The Downtown Development Authority is changing its
marketing plan to bring more people to River Street. They're also trying
to recruit new stores, improve store facades, and create new events. One
is called "Homegrown Saturdays" which capitalizes on the farmers market
across the river, and will also bring live entertainment downtown. The
Downtown Development Authority hopes these changes will have people more
willing to travel locally this summer and taken in Lake Michigan from
their own backyard.

~This particular story above I couldn't find on the website so, if you want to read the story you must "sleuth it out" so-to-speak.
It's probably a story on covert ops and is only accessible by those who receive the news by email....You know....Us sneaky little B*t*h's.
Watch-it's probably not
a real story they had on the news, but a paid ad. No?
Who knows.
I couldn't find it.~

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPUTER GLITCH FIXED

A computer glitch delaying unemployment benefits is now fixed, and people
receiving money through direct deposit should see their funds this
morning. Those affected were people scheduled to check in with the MARVIN
verification system this past Monday. Susan Metzger of Gaylord was laid
off last December, and unemployment is her only source of income. She
says waiting days for the money was hard enough, and not knowing when it
would come was tougher. A state representative says last night checks
were issued and debit cards should have been refilled.

....Unfortunately shortly afterward it was found that they'd all killed themselves OUT OF DESPAIR!



HORSE FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND OPENING IN LAKE COUNTY THIS WEEKEND

There's a new campground to check out in Lake County this weekend, and
your horse is welcome too.
"What will we be doing in a horse friendly campground?"
The D Bar D Ranch is converting into a new horse friendly campground near Chase.
Don Beach and Diane Davis started building up the land and the facilities a few years ago. When Don lost
his job last year, he just kept building. Diane's son decided to join the
crew when he lost his job as well. Now he trains horses in the ranch's
riding area, along with a second trainer. Riders can take advantage of
hours of trails accessible right from the campground.

They can also stand around saying to the horses, "Why the long face?"

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!!!


GOVERNOR GRANHOLM ISSUING EXECUTIVE ORDER TODAY
State workers find out today if budget-balancing measures will include
layoffs or furloughs. It's part of an executive order Governor Granholm
will issue today that lists more than $300 million in cuts. In addition to the
layoffs or furlough days, Medicaid providers are expected to get paid less,
and departments could face 4% cuts. According to the Detroit News, plans
to lay off 100 Michigan State Troopers are included in those cuts. The
reduction would take about one in every ten troopers off the highways,
reducing their ranks to slightly more than 1,000.

PARTY TIME FOR ALL YOU DRUNK DRIVERS AND ANGRY MOTORIST!!!

FOREST SERVICE STAYS AHEAD OF HIGH FIRE DANGER LEVELS

Fire danger levels are expected to jump over the next couple days, so the
Forest Service is getting a head start. 170 acres of forest lands were
set on fire Monday northwest of Baldwin.

The controlled burns cleared dry
brush and grass which could have helped fuel a wild fire. This burn
helped to clear space for oak trees to grow.

Told you I did....Now, things are worse....

It seems that this whole Swine Flu thing is a cover up for a Zombie outbreak....

http://bouncewith.me.uk/europe/8027043.htm

There has been a small outbreak of "zombism"

in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1.

An airline passenger wearing a protective face mask arrives at Gatwick Airport, south of London, on a flight from Cancun in Mexico, 30 April.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it's victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during "resurrection."
