I was studying the rise and fall of her heaving chest in a '53 Chevy. (and Officer Obie drove up.....)
You forgot "the rest of the story"....
"And that's what we did, Alice and me, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
Quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
Puke, Kansas, where this happened here, they got three stop
Signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,
Being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
Get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
Cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
They took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
One was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
The getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
Mention the aerial photography."
The "rest of the story" is contained within the intent of starting this thread.?ÿ Even the simplest jobs can turn into nightmares, but not because of the technical side of our work. We found all of the corners and set nothing new.?ÿ ?ÿIt can be the local environment that brings the problems.?ÿ Certain people have decided "they" should be allowed to determine who may live close to them.?ÿ When someone arrives that does not conform to their view, then it is time to turn on the spotlights and cameras 24-7 to intimidate them into moving away.?ÿ And, that is part of what "they" have done to this woman.?ÿ Within the past 12 months she has paid for a survey, new and taller privacy fences and cameras of her own.?ÿ The city police have been called by someone in the neighborhood several times per week throughout that time frame.?ÿ The Chief of Police lives three houses to the west and has made a point to distance himself from the battleground.
It is not about the boundary.?ÿ It is about the desire to get someone to leave the neighborhood.?ÿ While talking with the new Wicked Witch of the East, who was concerned about a few inches along the side with the client, I pointed to a chain link fence along her north property line that curves as much as five FEET into her property.?ÿ That was of no concern to her.
I should, belatedly, point out that everyone involved, including the client, are of the same race and general economic status and no children are involved.?ÿ Other than two or three kids at one house about six houses west of the site of the survey, I saw no evidence of children in the neighborhood.?ÿ Everyone else I saw, including neighbors up and down the street, who came out to chat last September,?ÿ appear to be of the same race and somewhere between 45 and 80.?ÿ I don't recall any political signs touting one party over another.?ÿ As Rod Serling might say, "A nice quiet-looking neighborhood in the Twilight Zone."
