 A couple more shots of the tall ships are here.
It has been real quiet here since Hiyah moved and the big bust happened. Unfortunately, the damn liquor store is re-opening today. Dirty South better NOT re-open. That place is nothing but a drug dealers hang out.

 

Making a decision usually means taking one of two roads. One is doing the right thing. To take the other road, you have to sit back and spin a story around the decision or action you are taking. If you find yourself thinking up an elaborate justification for what you are doing, you are not doing the right thing."

Tall ship heading out

Friday May 4, 4 PM

I can NOT believe I did not put this in my blog! On Friday at 4 PM, Rachel had JUST left for work. Suddenly, it was ghastly quiet out there. Bill and I looked outside and saw a policeman putting yellow tape across the street, over the hood of my Subaru. If Rachel had waited another 10 minutes, she would have been blocked in. More than a dozen cops were out there as well as the drug dog. Some included the Jump Boys (in masks!) and several were carrying automatic weapons! Cool! The police closed down Dirty South Records, Dirty South Car Wash and Montgomery Liquors. We saw at least a dozen guys on the sidewalk in handcuffs. Word was that someone (AND IT WASN'T ME!!!) called the City Manager and complained about the dealing and crap going on here. I'm saying, hey, look a little closer. Hiyah moved out on May 1st... Bust happens May 4.... Hiyah ain't busted.... I don't believe in coincidences. Oh, and Little (400 pound) Billy was hanging out in front of the liquor store the days preceding the Big Bust and he didn't get arrested from what I saw either. RATS, I say, RATS. Hmmm. Perhaps the strangest part of the whole thing was that this was live on 2 TV stations then followed up by the others but never made the newspaper. Really.
