First... here's one slab of lean meat I've had simmering "on the back burner" for a couple of days:
The Standard-Examiner breathlessly reported on Tuesday, that Ogden City's Finest, the Ogden Police Department, are the slimmest and most emaciated batch of law enforcement officers in the land.
The theory cited in the Std-Ex article is Chief Greiner's "physical fitness program" as being the cause of all this.
My theory is that the guys and gals in blue are all working on starvation diets, which goes along with the starvation wages. A "tip o' the hat" to Mayor Godfrey, for inadvertantly keeping Ogden's Finest physically fit. As always, Weber County Forum will alway "ingratiatingly spin" the news in Mayor Pee-Wee's favor. I always give credit where it's due.
Some would wonder about Chief Greiner's passing the test, just to look at him. Nobody with a brain thinks he's exactly starving-- especially with his wealthy (Lindquist) family connections. Maybe he just sucked in his gut before he got measured for his vest. Who knows?
Secondly, I'm going to post that "Holiday Light Display" again... the one that I posted and then deleted last week, after complaints that it had "locked up" the computers of some of our gentle readers who still don't have broadband connections. Here is is again... back by popular request. Remember... this link is NOT recommended for slow internet connections.
Last but not least, for the mainly-testosterone-propelled, there's the latest "Hooters" calendar.
I received this via email from my brother-in-law from Canada, who originally hails from the "Great White North," the land of the Ice and Snow, even in this era of global-warming. Print it out. It's the ultimate gift, I swear, for the macho outback camo-clad "woodsman" on your last-minute gift list:

Update 12/24/05 9:27 a.m. MT: Apparently, the lightshow wasn't a big hit with the local Sheriff's Department.
And here's some more background info on the Christmas light display.
