Sheriff Rob is in Lewis County where I used to live (I was there 1992-2012; I’m currently in Clark County since 2012); Sheriff John is in Thurston County where state capital city Olympia is.

Rob could go to Thurston county, beat up suspects and John would get the blame. And vice versa.

The medal says “Sloppy Joes” because that is where the contest is held.

Chad – the award says Sloppy Joes because that is the name of the bar that Ernest Hemingway was always hanging out at. The bar is still in Key West as well as the table and chair that Ernest sat in. Interesting open air bar.

Apparently Dog as mayor is not uncommon. When I lived in Sunol, Ca back in ’91 the mayor was a black lab mix named Bosco Ramos.
