Pigs Take Main Street

I honestly love our local news:

Police responded to five large pigs stopping traffic on Main Street. Two cruisers and Lt. Bob Hazelwood joined the effort to return the pigs to their pen. It wasn't easy.

Police eventually resolved the problem by shaking containers of grain, which the hungry pigs were unable to resist and happy to follow.

Fallout New Vegas Geek Moment

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it's still a pretty pic. :)
