I have to take Will out to JPS this morning to re qualify for his medical coverage for this year so I am kinda short on time. However, I do have a story to tell about my overnight adventure at the corner of Crazy Avenue and Stupid Street, more commonly known as my job. About 3 AM this guy comes into the store and asks me to dial 911. The guy does not look injured or anything so I ask him the reason for the call. He would not give me a reason, so I tell him he can make a free 911 call from the pay phone out side. This pisses him off and as he gets to the door, he turns around and tells Sean he should fire me because I did not call 911 for him. We both just sorta looked at him like he was crazy (turns out we were not far wrong). So the guys goes out to the pay phone and calls 911 for himself. In the meantime, the Police Officer from the evidence locker was at the light in the crime scene truck because he was on the way to get a cup of coffee at my store. He was watching the guy from the intersection and sees him take out a box knife and start twirling it around as the Police Officer was listening to the radio call, he was going to respond as he was there anyway when the guy on the phone tells the dispatcher that he is going to go in the store and start slicing an dicing us because he was pissed off at me. So the crime scene truck jumps the light and pulls in the lot to focus the guys attention on him instead of going in to the store to cause mayhem. Well the guys starts out to attack the Police Officer about the same time the Fire Truck pulls in, so the Police Officer and the Firemen wrestle the guy to the ground and take the box knife away from him and search him, finding another knife on him which of course they confiscated. Meanwhile the officer in distress call had gone out and about 5 or 6 squad cars pull in and they surround they guy when the guy tries to escape from the circle of cops and fireman just as the ambulance pulls up. Well they tackle the guy, hand cuff him and toss him in the back of a squad car. The assembled group of Policemen, Firemen and Paramedics discuss the scenario and decide the police will transport him to the Psychiatric Evaluation Unit at JPS. So most of the assembled group leaves while the crime scene guy comes to talk to me to make sure Sean and I are all right, which we were as the Police and Firemen kept the guy from coming into the store to do what he had threatened to do over the phone. So it was kinda weird and exciting at the same time. We never lack for interesting occurrences on the overnight shift, but this one was one for the books. So now I have to run off and take Will to the NE JPS Clinic so we won't be late. So on to today's play list which contains a Cello Concerto by Arnold Bax performed by Rafael Wallfisch with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted Bryden Thomson. The play list is followed by this week's edition of Sexy Studs In Swimwear. Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
