Pittsville Has Become The Next Target


As you can see from these photos, Pittsville is now under attack from these Graffiti Artists. The Daily Times may think it's funny but I can assure you, it's a marking, (IMO) telling others you can get drugs wherever these signals can be found. It needs to be removed right away.

So The Daily Times Thinks This Is Funny?








Today, the Daily Times put out a cartoon making a joke about the Graffiti and Gangs related to such. Might I direct these Graffiti Artist to please use The Daily Times Building as their next piece of canvas and let's see just how funny it can be?

These photos were just taken two days ago in Salisbury.

Welcome Home Jeremy Bouchelle!!!!








Jeremy Bouchelle is a Sheriff's Deputy who was fought in Iraq with the Air Force Reserves. He recently returned home to his Wife Christy and three children, 3, 5 & 7 years old.

Upon returning home local friends joined in a welcome home celebration that included other Officers and the infamous Mr. Mike Lewis.

Mike came to me and said, "Joseph, you see that stand alone picture of Jeremy?" Uh huh. "That's a LIFE SIZED picture of Jeremy." Ladies & Gentlemen, I never would believe Mike Lewis would flat out lie to me so I just took it as an exaggeration of the truth because this man was smaller/shorter than Mike.

Low and behold, Jeremy walks in and the first thing I thought of was, OMG, Mike was serious! He wasn't exaggerating at all! I'm sorry Folks but any man who serves his Country unconditionally is 10 feet tall to me!

Welcome Home Jeremy and thank you very much for your service.

Chief Webster Stalks Again




If there's every been any question the Chief of Police is stalking me, here's more proof. It's not as if I'm down on the Plaza at a specific time. I personally believe someone calls the Chief once they see I'm Downtown and he comes racing to the area to make sure he is seen. Either that or he needs to go to work for once.

Notice the illegally parked van in the first picture. The Chief had to drive pass that first before he got to me and he never did a thing about it. Good police work there Chief!

If I were to guess what was being said between the Chief and Mr. Taylor it would be, Is that jerk still behind me taking pictures Randy? Uh, yes sir, he is. Oh yeah, that's a big 10-4 there Chief.

Case closed. ROTFLMAO!

Dee, Dee, Deeee!




Now Look, there isn't a person here who wouldn't agree I'm 100% supportive of the Salisbury Police, Sheriff's Department and State Police.

However, this was just unbelievable. I could see an armed robbery where the Officer came flying up to the building, slammed on the brakes and let the car running. However, this vehicle was PARKED in a parking space, (actually two of them) and breaking the law/laws.

Take note of the first picture. IF you're looking for the meter, it's parallel with the front windshield. Proof of such would be, look at the next meter behind the vehicle. The 4th picture clearly shows there was no one in his/her way, front or back and this vehicle sat there for hours.

OK Salisbury, Here's What You Need!







I can tell you that my kids have enjoyed this skate park and that every major Twon/City should have one. Oh, that's right, Barrie can't produce her budget and the audit isn't complete, so no one knows what state the City is in financially, so we're out of the loop once again as to what can be positively done with the City for the 9th year in a row! Oh, that's right, we'll hear about the Old Mall thing again tomorrow night, Yahoo!

Sam's Club Soliciting Needs To End

As I walked into Sam's Club yesterday I was bombarded with 2 young men trying to ask me for donations for the Shorebirds Baseball Team. He didn't look hungry so I told him, no.

After I dropped off my $3,000.00 check to Sam's Club, (I had fun there last month) I walked out the exit door and not only were these pain in the ass kids now blocking everyone's way coming out of the store, they were asking people for money in front of yet ANOTHER group of people selling baked goods out there to boot.

Back in the day in NYC, when someone had their hand out they were entertaining you!!!! Guitar, trumpet, violin, acting, mime, singing, card tricks, magic!!!!!!!! Here you get some kid in a Polo Shirt who doesn't look hungry at all asking for money so he can play baseball, UP YOURS!

Back when I was a kid we used to have to work at the Bowie Race Track at night just to raise enough money to pay for Boys Club Sports. WE had PRIDE! WE EARNED IT! This bullshit has got to stop around here. The hundreds of dollar bills these kids were carrying was just unbelievable. Stupid people paying them a buck just to get out of the way.

NOT ME! Go get a job, I said. I'd rather take care of some guy down on his luck then to pay for some kid/kids to play baseball. We played with a tennis ball in the street and let me tell you, we were better than the Pro's! I even broke Babe Ruth's home run record. ;-)

When I go back and see the yards we used to play in I think to myself, how could that have been fair to claim that as a home run when you only hit it over the fence into the next yard? We must have been real small but one thing you can't do it take away my breaking the World Record.

Get A Job Kid!
