I know I have mentioned T.C. of the Bangor PD and his daily Facebook postings. People all over the world follow the BPD posts and other Police Depts are doing the same..
It is a positive daily reinforcement of the fact that Police are people too and get just as sick of some of this crap as we do....
Please follow them if you are a Facebook user, you will not come away disappointed...

As we open the lid to a Tuesday- we see bright sunshine in Bangor and it rejuvenates us.
The rains of the last two weeks have caused some families to reconsider using the name Noah for their next born and made the annual topping-off of the swimming pool for our upcoming 17 day "summer season" completely unnecessary.
We will hear the not-so-loud cacophony of lawnmowers all over the area failing to start this afternoon as the well-hydrated weeds, dandelions, and a little grass bounds effortlessly skyward.
Proprieters of small engine repair facilities around the region open their doors with huge smiles and soon to be filled cash boxes, awaiting the onslaught of Mainers who have never even considered using green Stabil in the gasoline of their lawn-care equipment.
Soon to follow this afternoon's silent chorus of non-operable Briggs & Strattons will be the inevitable echoes of men and women in their garages and workshops using language that would make Larry Flynt blush.
Note to self: pulling the rope until your hand bleeds will not make bad maintenance decisions disappear. Give up, watch the weeds thrive, and start the Weber grill.
It's spring in Maine and everything is going to be just fine.
We don't judge one another for how well manicured our lawn is, or if we deserve something a little more sporty than the slightly rusted 1985 Dodge Aries K car that sits beside the grass that would make Jack's beanstalk jealous. We determine the value of others by the relationships we nurture and whether or not someone had the foresight to put a few extra burgers or red snappers on the grill.
Embrace the government's genius decision to make our gasoline inert after being left to sour in the gas tanks of our machines and go visit a neighbor.
It's spring in Maine and everything is going to be just fine.
*Comments about the government's inability to give us gasoline that lasts over three days in a can, lack of foresight from your neighborhood grilling enthusiast, or Lee Iaccoca's taste in designing the modern automobile are strictly those of the author-TC-and do not reflect the opinions and attitudes of those involved in the governing of the Queen City (AKA-Bangor, Maine).
The Bangor Police Department and it's employees urge everyone to keep their hands to themselves, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
We will be here.
