WHOEVER WINS THIS ELECTION HAD DAMN WELL BETTER HAVE A PLAN FOR DEALING WITH FLATHEAD COUNTY
7:06 a.m. Mules were seen running through the fog on La Brandt Lane in Bigfork.
(Thanks to Jeff Meyerson)
Non-funny update: We kid Flathead County because we love Flathead County, especially these folks. Stay safe over there.
(Thanks to Larry Carnahan)

3:14 p.m. Someone explained that they accidentally called 911 by dialing the number 9, then 1, and then 1 again.
What are the odds?

Well, the Democrats' "solution" to this problem would be to equip all mules (quadrupedal type) with headlights, taillights, and a strobe light/beacon, along with an entitlement allowance for maintenance and research.
The Republicans would grant the mules (same type) a tax exemption, so they could begin their own business of selling insurance to cover "striking a mule with a vehicle while driving in a foggy (not "fogy") environment" ...
Whom did I miss offending?

Wasn't Mules Running Through Fog the sequel to Gorillas In The Mist?

Libertarians would get rid of driver's licenses because too much government regulation is obviously the problem.

Greens would cork the mules until they provide evidence of carbon offset.

Tea Party'ers would equip the mules with AK-47s

12:14 p.m. Someone called in predicting trouble on Margrethe Lane.
Trouble, oh we got trouble,
Right here in Flathead County,
With a capital T
That rhymes with P
And that stands for PANIC!

From tomorrow's blotter:
12:31 p.m. A caller reported seeing a large number of men in military-type uniforms at the Hilton in Kalispell.
Seriously, God Bless 'em.
