Nice pics, Lee. Barney Fife made me smile, too. And I love your tagline. Looking forward to Karin’s husband’s guest blog tomorrow. He’s a hoot. And has a way with poetry.
Late as usual…Love the new header, Lee!
Like the new look, Lee.
Will – I’m in awe. WordPress is not for the faint of heart!
I use WordPress with my website. It can get a bit tricky and I’ve been doing the design myself.
I have yet to upgrade to the current version.
Looks great. I still hope to se you in Boston on May 13th.
Thanks, guys. I think Katherine did a great job (most of which you can’t see). I can assure you it wasn’t an easy task. And, the poor thing had to deal with me while she was working on it all day. I think murder was probably on her mind after the first hour.
Love the new look — you get to keep the readability factor without that white on black, but you have a mood-inspiring header. Good job to your web designer. (Reaching for my newly autographed copy of PP&I to check the answer)
Great new header, Lee.
Okay, I guess the work on the site is done for the day. We have a new header, a new upgrade, and some other new cool tools for the administration of the site. My website designer and host, Katherine Smith, of Byte Size Media has been working on the changes all day.
I’ll answer Bobby’s questions in a few minutes. By the way, the answers are on page 129 and 130 of Police Procedure and Investigation.
LOL, Lee what wonderful pictures and great explanations! I can just see it now …calling Barney Fife for backup, Deputy! Deputy! Quick! Get out your bullet and come save me!
You guys might like the tutu, but I prefer the guy in the tights.
Just got back from Colorado — catching up is a bear. At least I saw a lot of these slides in Lee’s talk at the conference.
Well, I just typed a really long explanation for Bobby, but it was lost while my site is undergoing a little maintenance. I’ll respond again in a few minutes. Please bear with us, folks. The site should have a great new look, soon.
ROTFLMAO!
You really have a way with those 1000 word chunks!
Since Joyce does not like it, I will go ahead. Working with guys as long as I have, I got Sweetie in 90s. Now it has been Pinky for the last two years.
This is in honor of the boys in blue. (most of the time)
Lee ! You may have to worry about your own murder if the top half catches you posting those (photoshoped ?) photos !
Agree with Bobby, it is a great way to expain things. At least for a child like me. =)
Thanks for the definitions there Lee. But what about the different degrees of each? (ie first and second degree murder or manslaughter).
And I have to say, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cringe at the tutus.
Love the way you make your points, Lee.
Hi, Lee.
Just have a few moments at work before my day begins. The pics and captions are great!
Nah. We just have the pink Kevlar vests. They look stunning with the bright yellow Tasers.
Joyce – Aren’t they standard issue in Shaler, too?
What I want to know is, did you wear one of those pink tutus?
