outlaws
last night, after i got calvin to bed and the house cleaned up i headed out to get my kona ready for some short track racing at blackhawk tonight. i was finishing up when i heard a car door outside. i wasn't expecting company, but thought i'd head in and check just in case to prevent the doorbell. i turn the corner and there is a cop standing at my front door.
as it were, one of our neighbors had called the police (anonymously) to voice 'concerns' about our dog barking. we have lived next to the same people for 7 years so i would have expected a conversation prior to phoning the fuzz but i guess we're playing by different rules. does this mean i can call the police when one neighbor's very loud motorcycle wakes my son from his nap? or can i call the police when i can hear my other neighbor's television from their 3 season porch (which is every night, may through october)? i am still oscillating between being sad (i don't want to be nuisance/why couldn't we talk it over first) to very angry (mind you own fucking business). i do need to get over it but i am finding that difficult. i had a pretty challenging couple of days, wasn't feeling well and was exhausted. this just tripped my crazy switch a little. our dog barks. our dog barks a lot less than a lot of other dogs in the neighborhood. and when he barks we, as best we can, bring him in as soon as possible.
the cop was nice and you could tell he was just doing his job. he had to then rush off to respond to something that was of 'real' law enforcement concern.
i am going to try and get this out of my system by riding hard in a few minutes.
happy wednesday.
