Rain rain go away...

This May and June in Chicago have felt like April. It either rains every other day or its just grey outside. I have taken the kids to the pool only once so far this year. I'm not a fan of Summer weather, no heavy jacket to hide behind , but I do miss the blue skies and sunshine.  This year I am going camping even if I have to go my self. I am planning on a local site at first then with hope we will get farther and farther from home. I want to do a couple of days away fron civilization and rough it. Thats  kinda hard to do with the kids and near impossible to do with jelly stone - they have pools and wi-fi at all locations. ....... Anyways I just need a full week of crystal clear skies to make me feel better.....Peace

One Adam 12.....

I woke up because of the voices. They were of what I thought was 2-3 men outside across the street from my house drinking and talking. I thought it was no big deal.  A few guys just chilling and having a beer or two. My wife woke me up much later near 4 am and  the talking grew to yelling. I decided that enough was enough....I called the police. Question...why am I the only guy that calls the cops?  Any ways I as I'm the phone with the police I hear the voices get louder and louder until they became screaming. A fight breaks out and I see at least one guy on the ground. Then I heard the pop of a bear bottle hitting someones head. The cops rolled in about 30 seconds after that. In all there were 5 guys and all were drunk and two wound up in hospital. The 2 were carted away on streatchers.  6 squads , 4 ambulances and 2 fire engines in total were called in. It looked like a war zone ouside. I could see neighbors peeking through their windows. A few came outside to gawk at the light show...The fire engines were brought in to throw light on the house and yard. The cops stayed there for the better part of an hour and left well after sun up, near 5:45 am. At that time my phone rang and I spent the next 10 minutes speaking with an officer to round out any thing I saw from my window. Of course it was dark, raining and I have a tree in my front yard.....He could see what I was talking about as we chatted.

    I don't thing they were able to charge any one with any more than obstruction of justice and public drunkenness....But who has not been charged like that before????

In the morning after the kids went to school I went outside and swept up the broken modello glass that was in the street.

   Lesson learned kids....drinking after 3am is never a good idea, drinking outside after 12 midnight is never a good idea and please handle your beer or liquor. Don't let it handle you, t never works well....Very few things ouside of sex happen after 4am that are good. Most end up with the police being involved.....

Peace.
