A shining knight for public safety

Town Mangler, Town Clerk, Chief Livingstone, Princess Stephanie

So last night's Select Board meeting was one of the more interesting I've observed in my 25+ years of suffering such meetings. It certainly was nice to witness a sea of blue uniforms standing at attention for a happy ceremony rather than a funeral.

Amherst is in extraordinarily good hands with the new Chief Scott Livingstone; equally so with Captain Mike Kent as back up. I would defend a fox hole with either of them.

    Did you ever serve in military combat or is this just an expression about which you know very little?

  2. No, but I have had a lot of highly trained martial artists try to take me out (and I'm still standing)

    Would you like to meet at a neutral location? (feel free to bring your M-16 so I can see how far it will go up your...)

  3. I interviewed Livingstone for a GazetteNET video a while back. He's always been really accessible to the media, which is a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

  4. Yeah, I saw that video.

    That's when I decided to do a "ride along" with APD because I had seen him "in action" last year at Hobart Lane and "bang-bang" is a LOT more interesting than interviewing him sitting behind his desk. (One of many reasons I would defend a fox hole with him or Mike K.)

    Uh oh... someone had a tough Irish upbringing sounds like.

    Larry, did Papa kick your skinny ass one too many times?

  6. Actually he died when I was young; so yeah, I had a tough Irish upbringing in the People's Republic--back when it was lot less socialistic than it is today.

  7. "Yeah, to Anon Cowardly Nitwits like you."


    To the criminals who currently run this town... who enjoy the perks that townies once enjoyed, exclusively.

    Because that's the real rub here, Larr. Who has access to the town's teats and who doesn't.

    My oh my, townies sure hate being the runt of the litter. But oh, they deserve EXACTLY what they're getting.

    And so do you, Larry.

    p.s.
