Life in a small town is easy to take for granted. There is a degree of contentment and safety that tends to make real crimes seem unimaginable - the result of which is a pretty charming daily 'docket' in the local paper. Some excerpts, just from today, include:
A woman reported she was sleeping on her couch when an unknown person entered her apartment sometime after 10 p.m. Wednesday. The intruder ate some bread and cereal and took $5. The intruder then returned at some point, the woman said, and left two full cans of beer along with change from the money that had been taken. The woman said she drank the two beers before calling police Thursday.
A teen called the sheriff's office at 9 p.m. Wednesday to report a UFO sighting. The youth was advised that the object in the sky was a medical helicopter landing at the hospital. The youth apologized to the dispatcher, and admitted he watches "too many space movies."
Yet, even in our little small town, we occasionally have big-city crime. Case in point:
Menacing charges are pending against two brothers, 16 and 21, as a result of a road rage incident. The brothers chased after a man in a pickup truck, after the pickup passed them while in town. No injuries were reported.

People hardly ever give back the change nowadays.
