A Belated Happy Birthday Michael Wetzel, yesteday I went down to the Belly of the Beast, which I call LA, and sure enough I wasn't disappointed. Within the space of approximately maybe 2 square Miles, I was treated to one traffic accident, where the only vehicle involved was left abandoned by a driver who fled the scene after colliding head on with a Fire Hydrant, that was shooting a Steady Geiser of Water into a nearby Intersection. As we waited at the light to turn green, A vehicle came moving at a very high rate of speed from my right, and into the intersection, and when he/she hit the water in the intersection, the car went skidding into anothef vehicle, ripping that cars front end halfway off. That vehicle, seeing that there were some of the few officers stlll left of the depleted Ranks of LAPD, down by where the Fire Hydrant was faithfully Geysering, took off headed away from Me towards the West, Engine screaming at a high rate of speed, and shedding its own front bumper. The light then turned Green, so I made a right turn, to avoid the clutter to my left, and then one PO car went speeding by giving chase to the fleeing Vehicle. Whew, I thought, heading north, and for two blocks my adrenaline got to ease off, and I arrived at another controlled intersection, on a red light, with traffic around me and people crossing the crosswalk, one man carrying a small dog. That dog was a lifesaver, for as he and his owner carrying him were crossing in front of me, the dog began to wriggle uncontrollably, and suddenly shots began going off, Pistol shots to be very accurate. Yes, at a Convenience Store, selling Bread, Milk, Beer, Dope Legal Dope the smoking kind, Lo and behold four young Hoodlums were fleeing the store, on foot, shooting pistols at unknown assailants behind them, two headed east and away from me, and two headed towards my vehicle, one brandishing a not small Firearm, apparently seeing me as part of the daylight Civilian Occasional Transport System (a hijacked vehicle candidate) funny how that Adrenaline can kick right back up, and mine sure did. I felt a little like Keanu Reeves because my mind said "No, by God, not today, I aint a gonna Be Pistol Whipped or worse, I have to get the H E Double L our of here, " So, I did. The adrenaline eased on down, and I made it two blocks now travelling East, and I noticed a Cop Chopper circling a group of businesses to my northeast, and sure enough. more Cop Cars, a Fire Ambulance and Truck, and YEp another Armed Robbery, and while I waited in stopped Traffic, a Cop Car headed north one block and turned down an Alley headed West. I traversed the traffic, and caught a glimpse of the Cop Car officers nabbing one Miscreant looking type in the Alley. The Adrenaline System really got a good Workout yesterday by golly.
If Arizona is "boring you" then make the 400 plus mile drive to LA, where in the Mayor Bass's created LA, you can get a real chance to lose your Boredom, and perhaps, even your Life, and certainly clean the pipes in your Adrenaline System. All in a very limited Area, Much Cheaper than Disneyland, More Educational about all the efficacies of Socialism versus reading a Saul Alinsky tome on how to be a good little Communist, and good for America. This was not even in Compton, it was a place with the moniker of Arlington Heights, dont you know. Once probably a fairly good upper middle class neighborhood, But now they let people cross intersections carrying small dogs in their arms. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
