We had a little excitement in the neighborhood last night
resulting in a police involved shooting.
Up on Reo Drive
across from the post office there is a grocery shop, a pizza place and a few
other small businesses, like a taco shop, bakery, liquor store, the barber shop
where I get my hair cut, and a few other small businesses.
Well last night Judy went to pick up her car and was going
to stop for some Mexican food on the way home.
Right after she left she called on her cell phone to say that someone
had been shot in front of the taco shop.
Later when I watched the news they said that the police had
been called to investigate a disturbance in the area. When they got there they found a couple of
women in a stolen car and some guy that had run into the liquor store. They arrested the driver of the stolen car
and put her in the police car and then wile trying to get the guy out of the
liquor store somehow he got shot and ran off.
While the police were going after him someone let the arrested lady out
of the police car and she got away and is still on the loose.
The man in the meantime broke into someone’s house a few
blocks down on Rancho Hills. He was
arrested there. Seems to me some police
officers have egg on their faces with the escape of the woman. Also I can’t say that I am surprised at
having a police action in that area.
The opened the recycling center next to the post office that
I blogged about a couple of months ago.
Since then all the riff raff have come back to the area. There are panhandlers hanging out in front of
the grocery store and the liquor store all the time. At least they are not hanging around in front
of the post office like they did last time there was a recycling center in the
area.
Hopefully the police will take notice and start running
these folks off. As a result I do most
of my shopping at Ralph’s as they have a security guard or the
exchange/commissary where only military families can shop. They may be a little out of the way but I
don’t like being has bothered by the panhandlers.
Laila and I have been progressing in Tribal Wars as well as
keeping up in both Neopets and Unification Wars. Last night before I went to bed I put enough
stuff in the build queue to build for a few hours and I woke up for some reason
at 3:30 AM so I went downstairs and figured I would put some more stuff in the
cue before going back to bed. I got a
server busy error and was not able to get onto my account so I was a little
bummed out about that. This morning when
I got up I was able to post outpost in UC and collect my Neopet freebies, but
was still not able to get onto the Tribal Wars site.
That bothers me since in that game building yourself up fast
and protecting your village is important.
I hope this is not a common occurrence in that game or I could be
destroyed during the workday or when traveling.
That would get me very angry.
Well after all the kudos and all that San Diego got after the fires, now the
complainers are on the news. Some didn’t
get notified fast enough, and others didn’t get called. If I remember correctly you had to register
for the reverse 911 thing. At least I
remember having to do something to get us on the list. But then again we live in the 21st
century and so if they don’t break into “Survivor” with a special report
telling you to register most people will not know about it.
Sometimes the sheer stupidity of people amazes me though it
probably shouldn’t. With all the news
you can find on cable or satellite, and with all the news you can get over the
internet I find it amusing to talk to some of the uninformed people you run
across.
Oh and then there are the ones that are only informed by
CNN, CBS, ABC or NBC that always of course quote the same stuff in the same
way. Oh well, I guess someday people may
wake up.
Oh and this morning while listening to the radio on the way
to work people that had lost their homes or who were evacuated were calling in
telling of their experiences. There
seemed to be a common thread. The
evacuation and aid places were all overrun by illegal aliens with their hands
out. In fact one lady said she felt like a minority as 90 percent of the people
there were Mexican and all the aid workers were speaking Spanish. Makes you wonder about the state of things
when illegal aliens actually get better treatment than citizens. I wonder how much of this is true and how
much exposure it will get if it is.
This morning I had to remove the faults from the radios left
by the night shift and install my faults.
Then when my class is done I have to pull my faults out and put theirs
back in. What a pain having two shifts
going at the same time. Well at least it
makes the time go faster.
Well I guess that is it for today. I had a busy morning and will have an equally
busy afternoon. I have to stop by the
store on the way home and get goodies for tomorrow night. I might also just get something already made
for dinner because I already know I will be tired.
