Black and white in color

These two police cars were parked outside the police station in Stayton. This department is full of kind people, from the woman in the front office who registers dog licenses and who's so proud of her springer spaniel, to the ordinance officer who stood on the hood of her truck to reach an injured bird in a tree, to the patrol officer who still comes to your house to take a report on vandalized Christmas lights, even when we told them they don't have to.

Life in a small town -- it's not perfect, but it's pretty good.


Update to yesterday's post: turns out I actually did get a photo of the artichokes. Who knew?
