Hiyah looks cold

Thursday morning it was a brisk 38 degrees at 8 AM. Don't you feel bad for Hiyah just hanging out on the corner with no friends? At least he was dressed for the weather in his coveralls. When I was at Starbucks, a (likely SCAD) college girl was a little too scantily clad for the weather. A short skirt and sandals, really? Sandals? And no jacket? Didn't your mother teach you better?
Last night the 'hood was hopping. Even with the camera now installed on Montgomery and 35th Streets, they were out there. Some guys were zooming up and down Montgomery Street over and over again. At 9:10 PM, watched what could only be a drug deal in front of my house in full view of the camera. Guy walks up to the car, walks away counting his money... Then at 11 PM, while walking the dogs, saw 2 "ladies of the evening" (that is putting it nicely). One jumped in a silver mustang with an OLD man. By the time we were walking back to the house, about 5 minutes, she was jumping back out of the car! Dang! Talk about Wham Bam Thank You 'Mam...

First thing this morning I talked  to Malcomb, the owner of David's Crabs (next door to me). Asked how he like the camera directly on the corner in front of his store. What? No, he didn't notice. He thought it odd though that one of his female employees said she didn't need him to wait outside with her last night while waiting for her ride to pick her up. She told him the camera would watch for her... Nice to know he said!
I somehow missed the drug dealer getting busted a couple of nights ago. Malcomb said he saw a half dozen police cars across the street and a guy got busted with a bunch of drugs. NICE!!
