You really got the constabulary philosophy of rolling the eyes, and "here we go again," just perfectly here. It made for a wonderfully light-touch in handling all those nasty problems of human interactions that can prove so sordid for the street cops. Family matters which turn into shotgun affairs. A very deft touch which made this story just the right balance of humor, affection for humanity, and rough reality.

Excellent fiction. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
