100 degrees today

The weatherman was right and we did reach 100 degrees here today. Right now it is 97 degrees at 6:00pm. But there is slight breeze so it is actually very nice out. Not much happening here today other than the same old stuff. We have been having an increase in crime around here lately. The other night we had someone get stabbed by his cousin just down the block from us. And the night before that there was a ruckus at a bar about a mile down the road and a guy shot off a pistol into the air. The police chased him, his getaway vehicle was a BMX type bike. He ended up at the old trailer court across the highway behind us. When the police asked his girlfriend if he was there she told them no. But they found him hiding behind the fence. The police turned loose a police dog on him and he hit the dog. They ended up apprehending him and he is now in the county jail on charges of assaulting a police officer ( the dog) and his girlfriend is also in jail for lying to the cops. It was also the girls 25th birthday. Bet she does not forget this one, wow what a birthday present A trip to jail!! This has all happened within the week and just a couple of blocks from us. Guess it is just another sign of how bad the economy really is here.
