Law Dog is a law enforcement officer with a serious gift for writing I can’t remember how I came to find him online, but I’m sure glad I did!
I’ve read quite a bit of his archives, but the three stores I’ve liked the best so far are I don’t know if the ending [...]

Ya know, losing someone you know always sucks in a big huge way. I’ve lost one person I know in the past year - Cindy’s dad who passed away after a long fight with infection following heart surgery - and that was bad enough. A couple of years ago, I lost a co-worker, [...]

The crash of my Cavalier got me thinking about another black Chevy I once owned and loved which met a similar fate. Quite a few years back now, I owned a 1988 IROC-Z that’s still my favorite car out of all that I’ve owned .

Driving home from work today, I had a rather unpleasant experience. I was involved in my first high speed accident on the freeway.
The basics are that I was in the next to slow lane and was getting ready to merge one more lane to the left. Turn signal on, I checked my blind [...]
