The Cops will work off a 30% commission rate, use their own golf cars, be equipped with radar guns, sirens, and use their own phone to capture pictures. The excess funds will be used to cover equipment costs, uniforms, food banks, and psychological evaluations for repeat offenders. If your interested in becoming part of COPS please call 1-800-468-9255 on Tuesdays from 10-2. Thank You!

My grandson has been pulling pranks on us all day with this April Fools thing.

The worst one I saw today was Edelman signing with the Bucs.

Oh Rats. I thought that the speeding checking was false but I thought that was just a ruse to get a uniformed force of residents armed and amassed at the "Walmart Gate" to keep all of those masses of illegal aliens from Stonecrest from entering the promised land of The Villages and usurping our beloved MMP. I guess that we have to go back to planned Toll Booth at that gate to keep those rascals out.
