ocpd!

*just as a pre note so you understand better, we're thinking that there may be stalkers in our neighborhood, so everyone's been keeping an eye out and being a little more careful. which is Really Good. but anyway...
it's thursday, so i woke up this moring at just after four to get ready to go to the temple. i hadn't heard from doug all week, so i assumed that i would be driving myself, so i didn't turn on the porch light like i would if i were going to carpool. when i popped the garage door though, doug's car was out front, so i closed the garage door and walked out to his car. as i was going down my driveway, the cop walks up holding a flashlight.
"do you live here?" he asks.
"yeah..."
"so do you know this guy?" (by this time doug had gotten out of the car and come over)
"yeah."
"where're you goin'?"
"to the temple..." (we're both in sunday dress)
"alright; we got a call from one of your neighbors that there was a suspitious car outside your house. we thought that we'd better check it out."
"yeah, doug's my ride to the temple this morning. thanks though." (another cop shows up from the opposite side of the street.)
"sorry about that, have a good day you two."
"thanks again. good day to you too."
so i was kinda shaken (cops, paramedics, and city officials make me nervous), but it was amusing to think that two ocpd cops were closing in on doug when we were headed to the temple. so that was my morning. that and eating half a plate of bacon with a plate of eggs and french toast. MmMmM. Yum!

Hee hee! Paramedics don't make me nervous, but the other folks do. Some of the city paramedics know some of the lifeguards by name. They come any time we have any sort of head injury, even if we don't think it's too serious (can't be too careful with these liability things). But on several occasions they have stolen our backboards and left us with no way to treat spinal injuries.

Anyway, I think that's hilarious. I can just see Doug trying to explain himself. :D

Mmmm. Eggs, french toast, and bacon. I am hungry now! :) Thanks for posting on my blog. That pic that you asked about was taken at Musik Fest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. 10 days of all sorts of music and food and crafts. Fun time. I was using a Nikon Coolpix 5700 I believe. It's a bit blurry. Can't wait to get a digital SLR! Great blog, by the way!
