Call my drag-racing ninja cop brother on his mobile, errr, cell phone.

As usual, you never know what you catch. This time he was doing paperwork after some guy called into work saying that he was going to sit the workday out with a gun barrel in his mouth.
And then I learned the story of his mother-in-law's best friend, whose husband just got eaten by a grizzly bear near Yellowstone.
Crazy times.
