1.  If you did not make it all the way to the end of the weekly Fire Blotter posted yesterday, one interesting item in the log notes that a cyclist who was hit by a "slow moving vehicle" apparently was unscathed enough to refuse all medical treatment at the scene.  The full blotter can be viewed here.

2. Thursday's weekly "Concert in the Park" this week features the classic rock band "The Answer."  More information here.
