Event Update: Joys & Knickknacks

He's got another week off, signed and submitted, before any authorities can drag him into them misconduct reviews or nothing! Y'wouldn't do that to a sick man, would you?
I know my brother lost a lot of mighty pricy equipment in that flooded tunnel fiasco, but everyone knows he's got more'n enough output to cover the costs, if the Company can just stretch our credit a smidge, honest! And - and he's family, Dep- Sheriff, you know I'd do anything to lighten his load and catch whatever comes crashing down on his head, I'd do it in a heartbeat!
