When people commit crimes that result in the damage of public property, police cars, fences, guardrails, light posts, etc. they should pay for it. Why should the city, etc pay for damages caused by these idiots. Garnish their wages and take the $ from them. No more free rides for these jerks. We need the money for schools. If these jerks don't have the cash, make them do the work for the repairs themselevs. No more airconditioned cells, etc. Put these jerks to work.

When browsing through the articles this morning, they had this Concord Pursuit article listed in the left column right above the Cow stampede article, so when I first glanced at it, I thought the headline was this:
Two arrested, three police cars damaged after short Concord pursuit of Cows

I think I get a T-shirt saying, "I survived the great Concord cow debacle." I was stuck. Panicked cows running down Hwy 4, what next, dogs and cats living together in sin? Actually, one of the cows was well on his way to Benicia. If he had made it to river, I would have gladly paid his bridge fare.

Don't go there, it could end up being a whole new thread by Ohso 1-5!

If a cow fell in the river, which way would it flow? Out to sea hopefully, because we already have floating dead cow stories in Antioch folklore. My wife keeps telling me, about some big flood that happened out there when she was little and dead cows were spotted floating down what is probably now Lone Tree Way. Hey, maybe there already are T-shirts, so if a fisherman on the Riverview pier sees one floating by, people can just pull theirs out of the closet? The Riverview could change their name to "The Sea Cow Lodge" or whatever cute name the people decide to give it. I always felt if I had a cow, I would name her Betsy.

Heavens to Betsy, No! Well, maybe if she drowned by an act of God a Carl's Six Dollar a Pound Burger might be good for my Betsy. Doesn't even seem to rain anymore though. Who am I kidding? I'll never own a cow!

Can cows swim? If so, how long can they....errr.....cow paddle? You know, I would think an utter would be an excellent floatation device.

If cows could swim, why do you see them floating around sideways whenever there's a flood? I'm thinking they'd rather not swim if they could avoid it. Maybe Cowboy knows?

Roy might be the guy to ask, didn't his family used to be in the cattle business. I've only seen cows on dry land, unless you count the old John Wayne westerns.

Cows float sideways in floods so that they can wave a hoof at the rescue boats.

Stoney to the rescue. A man with a sense of humor to rescue a bad joke that backfired. You know anything about cow tipping? :)

I don't think a cow can swim any better than a turkey can fly. I bet cows on their sides would tend to validate the sport of cow tipping, wouldn't it. I think I got you Joe. :)

Yeah, you got me. But I never professed to be a cow expert like that certain poster who goes by the name of "Cowboy" and openly admits his only knowledge of cows comes from watching John Wayne Movies. LOL

Hey now I've actually spent a little time on horseback helping (read: trying to stay out of the way) friends move cows from open range to ranch pasture, but there never seemed to any swimming pools around. So as for being an expert in cows I can only use Clayton's phrase..."Due to my vast experience in this area ....Blah...blah....."

Considering Clayton's proclivity for dispensing bull s**t, I'd say she knows more about cows than we'd care to know about. You're really tempting fate here cowboy. Ohso's still trying to get his blood pressure under control after the court's ruling this morning and you bring up Chewy's comment about dogs sleeping with cats in sin.
(not that there's anything wrong with that)
