You are women of many talents. Gas Station exorcisms is on your resume? How long did this cop last on the force?

He's been the chief in a smaller local town for about 10 years now after close to 20 years with our dept. He's actually a pretty good cop, and an even better administrator.

Truly free people can poop wherever they want to.

Personally, I'm an advocate for the cab of Santa's truck.

Well, they'd have to go to Bunker Hill because even with a permit for their "vigil", no big trucks allowed. And sleeping in cars is also not allowed... we'll see if that rule eventually is enforced. Local LE seems have been treating this group with kid-gloves thus far.

What is going to happen when the "200 big trucks" and "500 cars" arrive that Santa claimed were on the way?

More than 150 rafters and backcountry campers who visited the Grand Canyon in April and May reported symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness, the National Park Service said this week.
The symptoms — including nausea, stomach cramping and pain, vomiting, and diarrhea — are representative of norovirus, according to a release from the National Park Service Office of Public Health. Officials confirmed the virus was found on at least eight of the rafting trips in the national park so far.
Park officials said “comprehensive control measures” have been implemented in response, and since early June they’ve seen a “a marked decrease in reports of illness.”
This volume of cases is rare, said John Dillon, executive director for the Grand Canyon River Outfitters Association (GCROA), which represents rafting companies authorized to guide trips in the park.
“This is the cruise ship virus, right?” Dillon said. “So it’s very unusual for us to experience something like this in the backcountry.”
In a typical season, the companies run about 650 trips; Dillon said having one or two of them report a norovirus case could be considered normal.
The exact cause hasn’t been identified, but Dillon said GCROA is working with officials, including the CDC, to gather data on the outbreaks.

The usual protocol for the Grand Canyon is to pack EVERYTHING out with you when you leave. Poop buckets and latrines are taken to RV clean out places when the trip is over, but you carry everything with you at all times. Three week trip? Three weeks worth of pungent goodness strategically placed among the boats.

But when one has diarrhea all bets are off. The buckets are much too far from camp for comfort so many just jump in the river…or a side creek… even though it’s strictly forbidden. So now the Colorado itself is a vector, as well as many of the tributaries that feed it.
