Grab your pistol and turn out the lights… WHAT a jolly place we live in. Never a moment of boredom around here.
The cop copter is buzzing the block north of the Funny Farm, racing up and down the street I used to live on and the street SDXB used to live on. In between zips over those houses, he’s also cruising up and down the alleys. Presumably another burglar or wannabe rapist.
This stuff has gotten so old, it no longer alarms me. Drag out the pistol? What on earth for? If our boy tries to come in the garage door, Ruby and I will run out the back bedroom door. Screw’im.
What a garden spot, indeed! But…it turns out that what we have here is pretty typical of the climate all over the Valley. This morning the news regaled us with a tale of prowlers and burglars in a spiffy Scottsdale neighborhood. And one in a North Phoenix tract of suburban ticky-tacky houses. And…on and on…
ohhhh welll… The doors and windows are all locked. The dog is on the bed, prepared to go off like a squealing fire alarm if anyone tries to come in through the garage or side-yard slider.
And I yam pouring another glass of wine…
Y’know, I do like to have the cops flying around, chasing the local perps. At the least, they’re making trouble for the sh!theads; at best, they’re either chasing them off or arresting them. But…it still does give me the willies.
Over to Facebook: the locals often post updates on what the cops are up to. Several folks here stay tuned in to the police frequency.
Nope…nothin’ untoward there. The usual pleasant chatter and idle gossip. Love this neighborhood!
Somebody rescued the cutest little kitty you ever saw.
A new resident reports his and his family’s experiences and unexpected pleasure at being here.
We’re told a new bakery has moved into the site occupied by the Late, Great Karl’s Bakery, much lamented, vocally lamented, {sob!} lost and gone forever. This week I’ll drop by and see what the new guys have got to offer.
The eminent Tony has found a bighorn sheep cruise(!!). Can you imagine such a thing?
I can’t. Hardly. 😉
