It's Never Dull Around Here...Add'l Story for the Day











My office manager got a call from his buddy (policeman) this morning, who said there was a perp running our way. He had just stolen a...jacket...from Burlington Coat Factory, and was on the run. Ken called back to the warehouse to warn Tony (warehouseman) that we May be expecting company. No sooner then he put the phone on the cradle, he looks at the camera monitor on the counter and saw this guy running through our back lot and going into the area where we park our vans. He's seen a cop approaching...cop saw Him to...Hahaa...He pulled his patrol car into the gate area, jumped out and started his pursuit...perp tried to hide behind a van but that didn't work...cop saw him and yelled at him to hit the dirt...perp didn't do it. Kept running. Dragging the stolen jacket beside him. Looked like the cop had a gun in his hand...but it wasn't...Taser...Hubby said 50,000 volts...whether that's right or not I have no idea BUT, I Do know the 250lb perp went down, still holding that stolen jacket. At least 8 patrol cars were there at any one given time and there were big smiles all around. That silver jeep in the picture is mine...Thank God he didn't run inside our building...We put our faith in God and Smith & Wesson.
If he was cold, there's plenty of places around here to get a jacket for Free...I'm just wondering where he got that Honking, big gold chain around his neck....
SO, What's new in Your world? I have a feeling things are going to worse before they get better.

Sounds like you had an exciting day! I would like to see someone get tased. I've seen the demo's they do on the news, and it looks funny. Not for the person getting tased, but for those watching.

You could get a job with the local paper based on that report!

PS Sorry to make you envious; sailing with our nice sunny weather, but guess what....It rained last night and is overcast today!

Heavens to Betsy, don't know how I missed this excitement. Guess I need to stay home more! So glad it turned out well.

It certainly is a day to remember in US history; I hope he achieves his goals. We have had quite a lot of coverage here, but I have been out most of the day so only caught a glimpse of the proceedings.
