Our week in review … Officers handled 66 calls for service! That kept them busy, with only 20 traffic stops last week. Those included 7 citations and 13 warnings. It was an unusually slow week for traffic, but I expected it as two of our “traffic” guys were on vacation and the night shift guys made a lot of arrests!
Nothing to pass on involving property crimes! We didn’t have any thefts, burglaries, or criminal mischiefs reported last week. Lots of “small-time” criminals take vacation around the 4th of July and our “big-time” criminals headed to the coast to prepare for some looting when the storm hits. This combination made for a good week for us. Disclaimer: Neither of my above observations will pass a fact check, as I tend to just run with stuff that comes up in my head as I am typing away.

Surviving the 70s – The Family Station Wagon
There is a scene in National Lampoon’s classic movie Vacation where Clark Griswald, played by Chevy Chase, in preparation for the big family trip, visits his neighborhood auto dealership to pick up his new car. Clark complains, “This isn’t the car I ordered. I distinctly ordered the Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack.” Ed, the salesman, replies, “You didn’t order the metallic pea?” Clark soon returns home piloting the green Wagon Queen Family Truckster, and the rest of the story is comic history, with the station wagon front and center.

If You Are Not Smart, then Stubborn Might Do
There is NO ONE in their right mind, who has known me for long that would confuse me with Phi Betta Kappa material. I would sit somewhere between there, and the Barely Gotta Outta category! And depending on the subject, closer to one end than the other.
And I would imagine many of you Readers fall into that situation right along beside me. I have spent lots of time with individuals that were as close to a Genius as likely will come into my contact. From Subject Matter Experts to Outstanding Leaders, Gifted Athletes, Master Woodsmen, the list could go on for a LONG TIME.

Independence Day
This past weeks’ trip to Devine was uneventful as far as the trip was concerned, thank goodness. We had several things planned, including a trip to Kerrville meet up with my granddaughter to pick up her girls for a little time with grandparents. We had a great time, visiting, eating out and shopping! These young ladies really enjoy shopping at thrift stores, so Friday found us at the Hospice Store in Devine where they each found several things. Back at the house, I started getting stuff together to head back home, and again my trip was uneventful, except for quite a bit of traffic, including lots of motor homes and travel trailers.
Been to two goat roping and a rodeo
WAY BACK when I was young, and folks had just about stopped coming to town in their wagons and Model T’s, there was a common saying used in La Brasada. Or at least in the circles that My Clan ran in.

Your Lytle P.D. week in review … Officers handled 68 calls for service and conducted 99 traffic stops. Of those stops, 78 resulted in citations and 21 were warnings. I will expand a little on the traffic stops. Fifty-three (53) of the citations were for speeding, with the average speed of 13.13 miles per hour over the limit. The largest amount over the limit this week was 26 miles per hour (71 in a 45), with several others that were over at least 20 MPH. Five of the 53 were for under 10 MPH, with those being 8 and 9 MPH in residential areas. So, if anybody tells you they got a ticket for going 2 or 3 miles over the limit in Lytle, ask to see the ticket.

Been a real dry week since the last rain but, supposedly there is some coming in.S Just got to wait and see but, pray for it in the meantime.
See where the adults in the room aren’t gonna let the guy who thinks he’s a girl swim in the Olympics as a female. That was a no brainer decision if ever there was one. Guess the Olympic Committee does not subscribe to the loony liberal left.
