From _Cascadia Weekly_’s ‘Fuzz Buzz’:  
**On April 11** , that fellow was again spotted masturbating in Whatcom Falls Park.

**On April 11** , Bellingham paramedics transported a woman to the hospital after she deliberately cut her private parts with a sharp pruning tool.

**On April 10** , police learned a Bellingham resident had sent $1,000 to Jamaica on the instructions of someone who claimed to be an FBI agent.

In other news, roomie and I were headed to Bellingham yesterday when traffic on the freeway came to a halt. [Here’s why](http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2011/04/23/1982724/blaine-man-injured-in-i-5-median.html). He has the same surname as a local propane supplier, real estate agents, and park.

From _The Northern Light_:  
**April 13:** Dispatch reported that two small dogs were running loose and unattended on D Street near Allan Street. An officer arrived in the area and searched for the dogs, but they must have been really, really small.

[From _The Arcata [CA] Eye_](http://www.arcataeye.com/2011/04/gallantry-is-golden-%E2%80%93-april-2-2011/):

Festivities at a dainty soirée in the 400 block of Fourth Street became slightly unruly when a woman in the parking area started vomiting. A gallant male attendee clad in reversed baseball cap and camouflage jacket rushed to her aid with a somewhat unconventional form of assistance – urinating on her, then running away.

Weird. It worked yesterday. When I put the guy’s name into google, that link comes up – but the paper says it’s no good. Anyway, [there was a crash](http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/04/23/v-lite/1637782/blaine-man-injured-in-i-5-median.html). Only that.

Yes, indeed. I used to read it. Didn’t we have someone one the board complaining about a woman looking in his window? Coincidence?
