Only In Cachagua

My neighbor had "an issue" to put it mildly, last night with the former owner of the park. Law enforcement was needed and 911 called.
45 minutes to an hour passed before the local sheriff finally showed up. (As you know we are high priority out here.) The first guy that showed up was not a foreigner to our area and at least knew how to get here.
The second guy who showed up 10 to 15 minutes later admitted fully he had no clue about this area, his beat was usually in the King City area. (That explains the tom tom map showing up on his dashboard computer).
Okay what happened to Officer White? The guy who usually comes out here on Saturday's beat?
"They gave him a different beat tonight." was the answer.
So how come it took so long to get out here after the neighbor called you?
"Well when you dial 911 it doesn't go to the Sheriff's dispatch it goes to the C.H.P's dispatch. Then they have to call the sheriff's dispatch who finally call us out in the field. Which can take up to 10 to 15 minutes. And you guys are so far out it takes us time to get here." was the answer.

Only in Cachagua.

What about the sheriff's sub station in the village? You know the one next to the cafe/donut shop?
A slight chuckle was the response.
Well at least the sheriff will actually show up. The only time I have seen the C.H.P out here is when they are "just pass'n through".
Maybe the store should start selling donuts.
