From the scanner
Often times, the most interesting part of my day is listening to the police scanner, which sit on my desk, in the center of the newsroom.
Occasionally, we'll get something substantive from the scanner, such as the night Gary VanNess went on the lam from Four Winds. Other times, it's edge-of-the-seat stuff, like when state police put APBs for dangerous, armed fugitives from justice thought to be making their way up I87, on the way to Canada, or when police report shots fired in Schenectady.
Most of the time, it's pretty mundane stuff, like heart attacks, false alarms, and that sort of thing. At the moment, I'm listening to a dispatcher advising sheriff's deputies to investigate a report of ATVs in a gravel pit, doubtless disturbing the tranquility up in Greenfield.
Stay tuned.

we really like your reporting....but please do not use the word "mundane" when it comes to human life (heart attacks)- save it for the car breakins, etc. Otherwise, you sound alittle flippant.

Fair criticism, thank you for your comment, AB
