My exciting wake-up call
A high-speed car chase woke me up from a deep sleep at around 12:50 a.m. According to a tv news report this morning, the chase started on 391 and ended when the person in the car that was being chased rammed into a fence on the corner of Hampshire and Oak Streets. The suspect, who escaped from the car and ran away, was later apprehended. What I saw from behind the glass of my front door were cop cars speeding by every minute and at one point I spied a cop on foot right across the street. I was somewhat frightened out of my mind, really. This is the most urban of areas I have lived in, so I’m not jaded yet. I think it may take a little while. Reacting to my fright after the excitement had died down, my partner-in-crime said accusingly, “And you wanted to live on [name of particularly unsafe] Street.”
Oh well, at least I’m not asking the gas station across the street to start selling $3 lattes.

Get this: one of my friends in Louisville had a similar experience; the “on-foot” portion ending up with the “perp” jumping his fence, smearing blood everywhere, and being apprehended at gunpoint in his backyard. Eek.
