Minneapolis PD's condition improving:
The condition of radio programmer Steve Konrad, who was critically injured when a mattress flew off the roof of a cage and directly into his path, is improving. Mr. Konrad is gradually being weaned off the ventilator, the condition of his right leg is improving, and doctors hope to begin physical therapy soon. We've supplied a link for those who would like to keep up on Steve's progress.

Meanwhile, a fourth biker has passed away as a result of a tragic mishap in the Cave Creek area of north Phoenix. According to KPHO tv, a group of eight bikers, waiting for a stoplight were run down by a dump truck. One of the dead, a lady, was on her very first ride without her husband. Two Arizona bikers, and one from Louisiana were killed outright. Nine riders, on eight bikes were idling behind an suv when the dump truck plowed over them, and into the vehicle. Cops say Micheal Jakscht, 46, was not impaired, but had been issued two speeding tickets just days before killing the four bikers. Why he has not been charged with vehicular homicide remains a mystery. Suppose he had hit a school bus full of kids? Do we sense a double standard?
Ohio Town Triples Ticket Take:
Does it seem like squad cars and their laser gear seem to be lurking behind every bush and billboard? May not be your imagination. Take, for instance, one Ohio town where the cops wrote a few more than before: Last January, 450 tickets. This January, over 2,000 tickets. ABM has been warning you that 35 is the new 40. Five over ain't getting any respect these days. There's nothing illegal about getting a ticket for doing 39 or 38 in a 35. The green back is king. Say hello to another 3 points, and take this for what it really is; A tax on those who do 3,4,or 5 over the limit.
