1 a.m.: A Tracy police officer stopped me on my way home tonight after work but didn't ticket me. He didn't lecture me about speeding or going through a red light. He just told me to take it easy, and then he followed me for the next eight miles.
Did he know what a long day I'd had? This had to be one of our biggest news days of the year: Another Tracy soldier was killed in Iraq. Homeland Security crossed Tracy off its list of locations for a bio-lab. Severed gas line at Valpico Road and MacArthur Drive shuts down traffic for hours. Body found behind the Tracy Inn. Man in county tests positive for West Nile virus. Skeletal remains found in Amador County may be a murder victim from SJ County.
But the best story of all: Gladys Schmolck turns 104 in Tracy this week. If you read nothing else, read this story.
Finally, if you're reading this blog, you've likely noticed our Web site looks a little different. We are using new software, and we're able to post stories and photos much faster. Stay tuned for lots more changes in the next few weeks!
