    So much fun! The Arvada footage is always just great. Revy apparently had a Darwin climb through a train sometime tonight (01/05/24) but I didn't see it or get a timestamp on it. Whenever it was, the circus continues, only with more clowns!

      With many speculate a LEO was waiting for a train at a crossing when icy conditions led to a motorist sliding as if they slightly damaged a tree all witnessed by the deputy.

    I just watched this video from Jan 4th and 5th and saw the Redd Foxx at the end. Next time you see one, you should edit in a theme song sound bite from "Sanford and Son ". I I like the Pac Man sound with the Canadian National logo and etc.
