Cop copter buzzes the neighborhood, as we scribble. Again.
Goddammit! What a PLACE this is. Every time you turn around: cop copters, burglars, prowlers, sh!theads… Lordie, but I am tired of lovely uptown Phoenix.
Alas, though, as one of the cops remarked after the Great Home Invasion Episode, this sh!t goes on all over the county.
I’d said to him, “Maybe I should move to Scottsdale or Fountain Hills to get away from this sh!t.”
“Don’t do that!” said he. “You can’ t get away from it. We go to these things all over the Valley.”
Ugh. What a world we live in.
Even in somnolent Sun City, this kinda crap goes on all the time. My mother lived in terror out there…and not for no reason.
I need a shotgun, not a mere pistol…
