I couldn't let this week pass without showing this photo (which would have been great in print if we had more space). This is the Orange County Sheriff's Office's urban assault vehicle, which I have only seen at public events and have never seen self-propelled.
(Before you wonder why the county government needed this, it reportedly was purchased from a federal equipment surplus for very,very cheap – as in a few dollars.)
I guess this might be used on Franklin Street or at a really rowdy Hog Day. Or, in its "community watch" function, to slow speeders in Hillsborough's historic district. (Photo by David Hunt)
