I really didn't feel like blogging today. I have a lot on my mind right now so wasn't in the mood. But I was on my way to bed just now and realized I do have something I can blog about.
We had to wait until our local paper came out on Wednesday but we finally found out what was going on last weekend with the police and the copter and everything.
In Wednesday's paper on page 3 there was a little blurb. There had been a vocal altercation in the park. One kid stabbed another kid in the arm. He was taken to hospital and released. They've made so many cuts to our hospital that it's more like a glorified walk in clinic except it takes longer to see a doctor.
They took the second kid into custody and he's out now pending a hearing. So, what that means is our police are bored and don't have a lot to do so when they got the chance to play with the helicopter and sneak around in the bushes in the dark it was a big deal for them.
So much for crime. We did have a panhandler once. The police told him to move along and no one saw him again. We also have 2 homeless people but everyone leaves out their empty pop cans so they can take them to the recycling depot and get cash to buy food so they aren't too hard up. The thrift shop doesn't have a lot of room inside so they leave larger items like couches outside at night and that's usually where the two homeless guys sleep.
As Walter Cronkite used to say "And that's the way it is."

Ha! Sounds like the police around here.
Glad it wasnt too serious of a crime, at least!
It is nice that people do those sort of things for the homeless. You wonder about them in the nasty weather.
