Violence breaks out in the streets of Williams.

Posted on by

cowboys-20130523WILLIAMS—The Northern Arizona Gazette heard rumors of gunshots ringin’ out on Bill Williams street in downtown Williams Wednesday ’bout 7 in the eve. Of course that made us suspicious and we sent out our investigative reporter to find out what was goin’ on. He never returned, but we did find his Browning and extracted this photo confirming our fears. Those polecats of the Cataract Creek Gang have apparently returned from their winter hiatus in the Bahamas (Hey. They ain’t too bright, but they do got style!) to rob banks and argue over women.

Now you can’t ‘cuse these boys of being zactly a candle in the window. So we pretty much worked out where these polecats will be hanging out. If you want to give these boys a wide berth, remain clear of these areas at 7 p.m. through June.

‘Course we spect that you will ignore our warning and crowd around to see the show. None of us locals are brave ‘nough to file any reports to the Sheriff, so you folks is on yer own.

Be safe Memorial weekend

This video shows, starting at about 30-seconds, that some people just should not have a motorcycle license.

Seems an appropriate time to ask you to please be careful driving over the Memorial weekend. Watch for kids excited to be out of school. Try to avoid arguments over whose fault it was simply by watching out for the other driver. Slow DOWN. You will get there.

Visitors must be aware that the speed limit in downtown Williams is 15 miles per hour. Remember that it is a one-way traffic scheme downtown. As you come in traveling west from Flagstaff, stay to the right on Railroad avenue. If you are traveling east, again stay to the right. Route 66 is one way going from west to east. Railroad avenue is one way going from east to west.

If you need help finding activities in Williams, the Williams Visitor Center is located on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Second Street across the street from the Pine Country Restaurant. Visitor parking is located across the street from the Red Garter. We recommend that you use that parking and walk downtown, as much as possible.

Please have a safe Memorial weekend. Do not forget to thank veterans and active duty military. Memorial day was meant to remember the sacrifices of our military, not to mark the beginning of summer vacation.

The challenge of the two Spocks

Posted on by

Apparently, the new five-year mission of Star Trek is to sell Audi. That mission, though, is limited to two crew members—Well, one crew member. The older Spock against the newer Spock.

This mission taken on by Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy will probably much less than even the television series from the sixties. And, of course, the success of this mission depends on how many Trekkie stickers you see on new Audis. Wonder if the two Spock bobble-head dolls come with that?

The one thing that is apparent, however, is that experience has taught the old Spock something over the new Spock. How to cheat.

Free food? Where will the city council be?

WILLIAMS—The City of Williams has posted notice that the city council MAY be at the opening of the new Cataract Creek park on Saturday, April 13th at 11 p.m. This MAY present a quorum.

Two words, people. FREE FOOD! Where do you think the council members will be this weekend!

Of course, you can join them in the festivities. The celebration is open to all. You just might want to get there before the council if you want anything to eat.

‘Slurpee’ brain freeze blamed for 5-vehicle crash

Posted on by

It has long been an axiom that drinking and driving can kill. It is unknown if Texas legislatures are drafting new Slurpee regulations. No toaster pastries were reported at the scene. This comes just days after 7-11 started offering a free Slurpee to download their iPhone or Android app. It appears that you can download the app and activate the coupon in the store to obtain the Slurpee without a background check. Offer probably void in New York.

Original-slurpeeSAN ANTONIO — A driver lost control of his truck and crashed it into four other vehicles on the Southwest Side Friday.

The accident happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday in the 2800 block of General Hudnell. The driver said he was drinking a “Slurpee,” when he got a ‘brain freeze’ and blacked out. His truck went over a curb and hit four vehicles in a parking lot at an office building on Port S.A. When he came to, his foot was still on the gas pedal.

Police said the man passed a field sobriety test.

No injuries were reported.

Snow and Bureaucrats

Posted on by

Where else but Flagstaff would bureaucrats haul in snow ahead of a major snow storm to CLOSE roads? Unbelieveable! Aren’t you glad you don’t live there and pay taxes for this? Even though the article says it isn’t costing taxpayers anything, I’d challange that……THINK ABOUT IT. So now we have yellow snow to play in at the Snowbowl and truck loads of snow hauled in ahead of a major snow storm to close the streets in Flagstaff. Don’t you just love bureaucrats! KUDOS to Williams for offering some more sane options, get out next weekend and enjoy the Mountain Mushers.

Exerpt:

“…., the city has brought in more than a dozen truckloads of artificial snow to transform two blocks of North San Francisco Street into a winter wonderland.

In all, the city has used nearly 400,000 gallons of potable water to make snow for the two-day event.”
