Well, here it is, another weekend for all the normal people out there. Imagine everyone is getting their homes decorated for the holidays. I still have to put up my tree yet.
Yesterday was an alright day at work – very busy. I had one caller who wanted to know if off-duty police officers babysit. LOL Are people really this stupid? Apparently so. She said no one else will babysit her kids because they are so out of control. Wanted to tell her to get a clue but, of course can’t.
We had some flares sighted off our coastline but hadn’t found the boat yet by the time I went home. I think it would be horrible to be stuck on a sinking boat, in the pitch dark, wondering if anyone saw the flares and is sending someone to help. Makes me shudder at just the thought.
More then likely though it was some college kids who are out drinking and dared one another to shoot off flares. Or better yet, wanted to test their flares to see if they really worked. Again, some people are a bit lacking in the common sense department.
We did have a stabbing one block from my home. It wasn’t too bad though so that was good at least. We had several armed robberies and I commented that the theives had to get extra money for Christmas – that got some good laughs.
I got a call from a man who was angry because the Circle K near his house told him they wouldn’t be selling beer until Monday. He wanted us to go check it out because that was just too strange – something had to be wrong there. We actually did go just to be sure the clerk was OK. It happens that it is a new Circle K and their beer truck isn’t due in till Monday or something like that. People.
Have I mentioned lately that I’m ready to move back to Iowa where people are a bit saner? Think the sun fries people’s brains here in Florida.
