I recently resurrected my old Radio Shack PRO-92 scanner which I'd not
monitored for probably four years. After just a couple hours
listening to the Columbus PD freqs I came to the conclusion that COPS
will no doubt end up being the longest-running TV series in history...
by a long shot.

What really astonished me is the marked increase in the number of
calls involving guns - both seen and heard.

And just now a report of a car going down a street near where I used
to work (and often ride my bike) firing "machine guns". The Fuck?

When I was a kid we threw water balloons and the occasional egg for
"fun". Now it's dumb-ass Mid-west gangsta wannabes emptying clips at
who knows what.

Hey Canada - anyone need an editor / sound designer / digital media /
maintenance guy? I'm unarmed**, my rates are quite reasonable and I
don't mind cold weather one bit.
