I posted the log on HollistonReporter.com beginning in 2008. We can debate whether it was of any value to anyone but it helped me stay on the straight and narrow at least while I was sitting in the police station reviewing the log and typing it for HR. What follows are a few of the entries from the log along with my comments in italics.
