There is some “suspicious”garbage on my road. Should I call the sheriff to pick it up?
Why don’t you just call a cab?
Do all the idiots who think an object is a “weapon of mass destruction” live on Humboldt Hill?? It sure seems like it. Last time was at the bottom of Humboldt Hill where the ignorant/uneducated/unknowledgeable/loonie thought an object in their backyard was a bomb!!!!!!Holy shit folks-you watch too much garbage and propaganda on tv telling everyone the “bomb squad” with the recent Homeland Security grant with the robot and encasement trailer will make you safe safe safe. BS. Are all you people sheeple and no common sense to make a decision that doesn’t involve a swat like response and cordone off miles in either direction?? Maybe the radiation actually did make you brainless after all. Get those face masks soon-coronavirus is coming to town
Or is there some young sketchy Unabomber type growing up in/around humboldt hill?
Must have been the box with the fitbit I ordered but was stolen off my porch
