Welcome to the Wild Wild West

By Holly | January 17, 2009

Today started out like every other Saturday.  I got up, drank some coffee and did some knitting.  Sometime this afternoon it snowed.

Snow?Close up of the hat

Of course The Girl ran outside ‘cos it doesn’t happen all that often.  Notice her hat?  One of the things I knit while I wasn’t blogging.  The yarn is that Louet Bonnie in the Cold Spring colorway.  I like the yarn but didn’t like the knots.

Later we had dinner.  Steve West cooked tilapia with mango salsa, mashed potatoes and greens.  It was delicious.

Tina?  Food!

A few minutes ago, the po-po arrested three men at gunpoint on the sidewalk in front of the house.  One of them had to be retrieved from our side yard.  I betcha he wasn’t expecting our locked privacy fence to be in his way.  The cops carried his sorry ass down my front bank, right through my hibernating flowers.  I hollered to those fuckers about that one but it did no good.  I’ll have to survey the damage in the morning.  Why couldn’t they use the stairs?

Apparently the guys they arrested had been involved in stealing a car.  I don’t know where the car was but I heard one of the cops say they were doing 100 mph down my street.  The speed limit on my street is 35 mph.  Did I mention the snow has gone to rain and that’s it’s freezing?  Um, yeah.  The way things have been around here lately, I’m just glad bullets didn’t fly.

I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
