Animal Control Should Be On Call, Shouldn't They

I came home tonight to a large, looked like a Rot, in my front yard. I

wasn't going to get close to see if it was friendly, so I attempted to

call Animal Control. Animal Control is apparently closed at the end of

regular business hours and I could leave a message. I opted to call

the Greensboro Police non-emergency number. I was asked if an attack

was currently happening, which it was not, and then told that the

police would not respond unless there was an attack underway, or

similar circumstances. I asked about Animal Control, and they told me

what I already knew, and that I could call the number tomorrow.

My problem, I have a wife and young child to protect. Does anyone else

think that Animal Control should at least be on call for what could be

a very serious problem for any unsuspecting Greensboro citizen? I told

the officer the policy was "retarded", because no one is available at

night to help protect our citizens from an attack if they feel

threatened, not even the police. Please weigh in, I think this is a

problem that can be resolved rather easily.

Sorry For The Lack Of Posts and My Sickness

I know, I've been slack. Painting has been keeping me good and busy.

Today at a fellow bloggers home. Not a complaint in the least, this

schedule just doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging. I will do my

best to post when I can. As my fellow blogger said, I did receive a

nice HP laptop to replace the archaic excuse for a hampster on a wheel

that I had been using. Thank You Matt. And thank all of you for your

patience with my absence of my two sense.

My only complaint over this time, I caught what felt like the plague

for a few days. Seems to be going around. I was told by a friend who

is a PA at Mose Cone, that it is a viral infection and can not be

treated other then over the counter meds. Anti-virals in the 1st 24

hours can help, but are very costly and not always effective. What

worked for me, lots of Gatorade(64 ozs a day), Theraflu Cold and

Sinus(every six hours), Motrin every 4 hours but two hours after the

Theraflu, and an occasional Hydrocodone(by prescription only). If you

feel like death has taken up residence in your human body, you have

this plague. If you hurt from your head to your toes in every joint,
