Good Morning;

It's 04:41 on Sunday May 8th 2011, (which happens to be the official start of Before Morning Nautical Twilight for this date according to the U.S. Naval Observatory's website....or 10 minutes past 'zero dark thirty'......lol.....God I love the Internet.....lol!)

and this is post number 901.

I was just about to go to sleep, or try to anyway when these two carloads of

ghetto morons stop their cars in the Giant parking lot with their lovely, foul mouthed lyric loaded, anti social, violence promoting, misogynistic, talent devoid, & just plain ignorant excuse for music blaring out of the exterior under the car speakers that is all the latest rage among the no imagination, copy cat Crown Vic/Gran Marquis/Impala raised on air shocks so the 22 or 24 inch rims with low profile tires don't scrape the fenders owning 'yo boys' and their 'bitches and hos' can "conversate", (you know the word is converse, and I know the word is converse....but ride the bus in 'Baltimore-The City That Breeds' and eavesdrop on the majority of riders.....they make Ebonics sound like the "Kings English" ...[post stutter...lol].......), to each other at the top of their lungs...........from 18 whole inches away from one another! Oh pardon me, only half are actually talking to each other, the other half are screaming into their cell phones.

And now the delightful odor of 'blunts' are wafting their way over on the breeze.

(Don't get me wrong, it's not the weed that offends me, God knows I smoked enough of it in the past, but damn...we never ruined good quality herb by wrapping in foul smelling leaves of the cheapest possible cigars, and some of them are flavored, yecchhh! even in my junkie days at my highest I never had the desire, urge, or compulsion to smoke, grape, banana, or pina colada flavored pot!...lol!)

along with the smell of burning rubber as they begin to do 'burn outs' as they leave.

As the sound of rap 'music'...(not!)...and squealing tires fades away it is replaced by the Doppler effect of police sirens as the two cop cars which were sitting in plain sight just across the street in another parking lot take off after the bunch of mouth breathers.

I can't see exactly what went on because they were stopped just over the crest of the hill, but the psychedelic stroboscopic red white and blue light show was just enhanced by the yellow-orange of 3 tow trucks......and here comes 2 paddy wagons, one for the 'babies mommas' and the other for the 'babies daddy's', and the helicopter just made a circle of the scene, the spotlight like a light saber, as it passed over on it's way past.

Okay all is quiet again at 05:14, (or the start of Civil Morning Twilight ), except for the birds which are starting to begin their morning chirpfest , (I think I have discouraged all the attempts at nest building and loitering in and on the shed this spring.....so far anyway.....lol), and I'm going to try for 3 hours sleep.....more or less, and hopefully more.

Later................................Dave
