So basically, everyone in Asheville called the police at least once in 2005? And 31,111 more people - who don't even live in the city - called the cops as well?

Dag. Something about that just isn't working for me. I think I got through 2005 without calling the cops even once.

I called them twice, so I think I used your time.
