Hey Matthew Sorry if it seemed I was dissing you tonight. There was a second scene on that shooting and I was rushing to it before it cleared.

Hope all is well with you.

@stringer253 Jud, It didn't. I figured you were heading to something else. Like the new toy. But had you stuck around you could have watched the idiots who were upset that the store was closed and they couldn't by cigs & a slurpee!

I was wondering if u were at this. I heard the whole thing on the scanner. Nice catch.

@PierceScan Thank you. Sad ending. For being a cool summer, water related deaths are higher than normal for the Puget Sound area.

im not one to say stuff about dead people but the beers that fell outa the boat they were throwing into that fell out is not worth no life most likly the woman was imparred by alcohol because a soberperson wouldn't go after a lost beer this is very sad tho we know some one who new the woman
