                Officer Justin Gower pulled over a truck on Oct. 17 for a malfunctioning light when he saw three kids with no car seats. Gower and another officer then purchased the family seats with their own money.

                Isn't this the town that @andyw lives in? What a cool story to get in the news. So much of what you see is so depressing. Had to share this one.

                                  @Dashrender No, that's not the same thing at all, also, you wouldn't be able to distribute it from your London jail cell. I must go see this. I know Liesl would be happy to sit through a play with me, just not sure about The Ciana.
