I was the chief in Madison, WI beginning in 1973 thru 1993. I learned some stuff along the way and have written another book on improving police. It should be out early 2012. In the meantime, I have been blogging excerpts. I would be interested in what you think. http://improvingpolice.wordpress.comLife with Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093322172337869810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-80504561009379221142011-11-28T11:54:41.896-06:002011-11-28T11:54:41.896-06:008:47

FYI, I submitted my renewal application on a Tuesday morning and received my new permit in the mail that Thursday afternoon.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-49976120873191162272011-11-23T08:47:43.040-06:002011-11-23T08:47:43.040-06:00I bought a typewriter earlier this year, just to f...I bought a typewriter earlier this year, just to fill out my CHP renewal app for the NSP more neatly than my usual chicken-scratching.

Can I still make calls?

Mulling over the used Smith-Coronas, Underwoods, and Remingtons at Nebraska Typewriter down on 11th Street in about 1969, I choose the Remington. Wish I had kept it. But I do have a cool application for my iPad, the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-amazing-type-writer/id338577673?mt=8" rel="nofollow">Amazing Type-Writer</a>. Love sending emails with that from time to time, and get to enjoy the sound effects while doing so.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-40796510421359470402011-11-23T07:02:17.011-06:002011-11-23T07:02:17.011-06:00I forgot to add that there's something that ke...I forgot to add that there's something that keeps on making me want to us that old typewriter. The whirling of the motor, the clicking of the typebars, the old-fashioned look of the letters on the paper after you type it... it's just kind of a novelty that never gets old!Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-11188187347958171682011-11-23T06:43:17.316-06:002011-11-23T06:43:17.316-06:00Carbonated or making a "carbon copy" is ...Carbonated or making a "carbon copy" is a method of transferring one's original handwriting from an original piece of paper to another. C.C. is the electronic form in emails. I have a box of carbon paper in my closet in case I ever need it.<br /><br />I also have a baby blue Corona-Smith Coronet XL electric typewriter sitting on my desk, too, for forms and envelopes, etc... I have the feeling that the new Police Chief and I could get along very nicely with a nice chat if we ever needed to ;) heh.....Ericnoreply@blogger.com
