I’ve been enjoying the Chico State online newspaper as of late. Mostly because they have a great blotter. Such as:
4:59 a.m. Mentally ill person reported on the 100 block of West 17th Street. “Reporting party is at a pay phone saying we need to send the government or someone may get hurt.”
2:34 p.m. Disturbance reported on the 500 block of Orange Street. “Male subject outside waving his hands in the middle of the street and talking about Jesus.”
Also enjoyed this article about a recent city wide cleanup event.
Dead birds, crack pipes, empty whiskey bottles and a freezer full of human feces were some of the items collected at the eighth annual Scour and Devour event Saturday.
The citywide cleanup by students, faculty and citizens brought 720 volunteers. After they returned from their jobs, a tri-tip barbecue at the Kendall Hall lawn sat ready for hungry helpers.
Sure that tri-tip wasn’t difficult to put down after a day full of freezer poo moving.

Who doesn’t love a good crime blotter? Do you ever read the police and fire log in the Neighborhood section of the Bee? Every week mine is just a list of petty thefts at the Alhamra Safeway and Rite Aid.
