Who do you suppose the idiot is in the County who authorized sending a text message on the NIXLE system at 4:19AM to tell everybody to stay home today?
Do you think there is anyone who is going to stay home because some bureaucrat says to? Most people in the County are smart enough to look outside and make that decision for themselves. They don't need a bureaucrat or an anonymous person at the sheriff's department to tell them to stay off the roads this morning.
First of all, they probably can't even get out of their garages, carports, driveways or parking lots.
Do you think the person at the County or the Sheriff's Department thought that the chimes on a sleeping person's cell phone might wake up him or her? Could the message have been sent at 5:30AM or 6:00AM or 6:30AM? What was so magical about 4:19AM?
NIXLE is like someone's toy that he gets to play with, regardless of the recipient. And someone needs to take away that toy for a while. McHenry County residents are adults!
You never know who is interested…

The name, James Wagner, is in the NIXLE message that was emailed. Thanks, Jim, for the email message. That one didn't awaken me.
If the Nixle alerts bother you so much just discontinue service. I like getting the updates on stuff.
Reminds me of the old Will Rogers saying "Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
Gus you have the experience!
