Welcome back!

Well, as I had mentioned in my previous article, there have been some things going on.

Now, We find out when a policeman comes to the door that the American Legion across the street from us was broken into the other night. I begin to think that we might need some security cameras to watch the neighborhood. Not only was the Legion building broken into, but the water department for our city was also broken into. The officer was trying to find out if anyone had seen anything when this happened. We were one of the first to have him visit since we live so close to where it happened.

The park down the road from us has its own troubles, too. There are hookers and drug dealers, or horny males hanging out there a lot. So much for the kids being able to play without any trouble.

Well, today was an interesting day. Did I ever tell about an old Chinese curse? You point at someone and say, ‘may you live in interesting times.’ ? If you think it is innocent, think about what you will find on the TV news. Earthquakes, floods, fires, tornodos…..get the picture?

Well, today was interesting. Our friend is going through a troublesome time. His wife and her family are causing trouble and it is getting rough for him. One of them decided that she wanted to come to our front door and give her opinion on what was going on. I asked who was pounding on the door (it sounded like she was using Kettlebells to pound), I told her to GO AWAY. That is very plain. I do not believe that it could be misunderstood.

She refused and kept pounding on the door. I called 911. I repeated that I wanted her to GO AWAY. She stood outside and voiced her opinion. We live in an apartment complex that has a fence around it, so it is very obvious that it is private property. She was still there when the police finally arrived. Still loud and walking around in front of our apartment. She does not live here. She does NOT have any relatives that live here. She does not have any friends that live here. The police started to question her, and to question me. I stayed on my porch, she stayed out by the police cars. The police said they would tell her to stay off of the property and leave me alone. I am not related to her or any of her family in any way, so her coming here was nothing but trouble. She ended up getting arrested. The police did a search of her car, found something in the trunk, and caught her in a lie. Both she and her car were removed. Her to jail, her car to the impound lot. All she had to do was leave but, she decided that she wanted to cause a scene.

Frankly, I was embarrassed for her. She did not behave in any type of a classy manner. One of the cops shook his head when he went back and forth to his car. I have no idea what they found, I stayed away from her and her car. I never even signed a complaint.

Sometimes, I do not understand people. They can be confusing.harassment

I love critters. They come in all sizes and shapes. Some are very graceful, some are very klutzy like Dodo or Goony birds.

Some modern up-to-date police departments use horses. Horses can be very graceful. If you watch them when they run, it can be poetry in motion, or very dynamic. Of course with that thought in mind I also wonder where those police departments get all of their horse supplies. You know, the saddles, tack, horse shoes, etc.

In New York, they have mounted policemen for the park areas. In New Orleans, they have mounted policemen for riot control. Lets face it a ton of horse flesh is rather impressive isn’t it? I have seen, in comedies, the horse with a sway back. I have seen the small ponies that are used for kiddy rides. Horses come in all sizes. I even stood next to a Clydesdale when it decided to stomp its hoof. The concrete shuddered. Made me glad that the horse itself was friendly. I am not saying that I do not like cars, but there is something about a horse that cannot be replaced with a car.

A man wanted for burglary charges in several states had held up the traffic and commerce in a motel. The police used a robot to send in food, drink and cigarettes. The man threatened to shoot the police robot and the pregnant woman trapped with him.

Not very smart. What was he supposed to eat otherwise? he threatened to blow up the motel, shoot police, the woman with him, and the supply robot. His actions ended up blocking the local lanes there and caused the eviction of the proper guests of the motel.

When the police finally got in, he had NO explosives, or guns. The man was stupid. He will be charged with kidnapping, terroristic threats, hostage taking, and other charges. All for being a burglar. Breaking and entering alone is bad enough, but all he did was add to the list of charges against him, and endanger the woman with him and her baby. I do not think he will ever be charged with being smart, do you?

Where we live in our town is just a bunch of homes. A block away is the county jail, soon to be moved. The fire station and E.M.S. are four or five blocks away. We hear sirens every day and quite a lot at night. I often wonder what’s happened and where. I wonder if the sirens are for the police, fire or ambulance. The funny thing is; we don’t hear on the local news about the reasons for the sirens in our town. We hear about things happening in towns 30 miles away and 60 miles away; but, not in our town. Sometimes I wonder—what gives?
