EPD

This is probably old news to everyone else, but the slip of blue paper that fell out of my sewer bill today informs me that our police department has a new web site. The very cool thing about this site is the live-streaming police scanner, which means that even in Brookline (which is where I am writing today's entry), I can keep track of my little home town (lots of dead air this time of year). So, think of it, if I wanted to, I could listen to my BPD scanner in one ear, and EPD in the other (nope - my dual existence is already too confusing, most days).

EPD web site, here.
