Holiday cheer

A quick thanks to whichever member of the Aurora Police Department decided it would be nice to play Christmas music over the radio after 9:15 tonight. Quite honestly, I would be OK if they stopped airing emergency alerts altogether and put on some nice holiday songs from now until Jan. 1, 2009.

Any chance the criminals in Aurora could take a few weeks off to enjoy the holidays while the police scanner gets turned into a yuletide jukebox? That's my Christmas wish — sort of an indirect way of asking for peace on Earth and goodwill toward men.
