State Police: You've been warned...

By Philip Anselmo

We received this press release today from the state police. It seems they're trying to give folks a fair warning. Here it is:

The New York State Police is warning tailgaters to beware! In an effort to deter drunk driving the New York State Police will have extra patrols following the Buffalo Bill’s game this Sunday, specifically looking for motorists driving under the influence of alcohol. Troopers will be on patrol throughout Erie County in an effort to deter drunk drivers and keep the roadways safe. Anyone traveling in the area should expect to see extra patrol vehicles and possibly DWI checkpoints.

“We want everyone who attends that game to have an enjoyable time, but most importantly to drive responsibly. By increasing DWI enforcement we hope to deter motorists from drinking and driving and avoid needless accidents or deaths,” stated Captain Steve Nigrelli, Zone II Commander. If you plan on drinking at the game, have a designated driver or make arrangements ahead of time to find a safe way home. The State Police is committed to protecting motorists here in Western New York. Anyone who is found to be driving under the influence of alcohol can expect to be arrested.

The State Police is committed to DWI enforcement and will continue to have extra patrols following all of the Buffalo Bill’s home games throughout the football season. Anyone with questions may contact Captain Steve Nigrelli at (716) 864-6390.

You've been warned.

Is this on top of their road blocks or point checks ?
They already cruise major Bars and note what makes and models of cars in the parking lots, (but not liscense plates). Then they wait a few blocks away at closing time. Its like catching a mouse.

DRUNKS LOVE DRINKS MICE LOVE CHEESE.
I am totally against drunk driving.
I just think its a no brainer on how to catch them.
I dont think a warning is going to help.
I told mr. mouse:
" I got cheese but if you show up and eat it the trap will snap your neck like an old pretzel".

Being the usual mouse he understood what I warned him about but all his friends were there at the party and he decided to indulge anyways.

He never meant to hurt himself or anyone else and after a few nips of some cheese he decided to scurry home.

He got caught but he didnt die or kill anyone.
He got in trouble and learned a great deal.
He is a better mouse for this experience.
Once I was a mouse....
