Too much to ask?

Crime Report

Location: Mehlville in University City
When: Friday, February 20, 2009 at about 9:55 pm
Specifics: At approximately 9:55 pm on Friday, a student was walking on Mehlville in University City north of the Danforth campus. The student was approached by two subjects and one displayed a handgun. The suspects took the victim’s wallet and cell phone and then fled. The victim was not physically injured.

Would it be too much for the police to SPELL the street name right!? I have to say, this is not encouraging that they will be "on top" of this case. Evidently, they don't know where it occurred.

And I guess every 3 months was inaccurate. They've stepped up their game. It wasn't even a whole month this time! J.D.'s comment: "That's what happens in a shitty economy."

Would robbers believe me if I told them I didn't have a cell phone? What if you really didn't have anything to give them?

Robbery, a thoughtful gesture, looking forward to laughing

"At approximately 12:34pm Wednesday, a graduate student was walking on M--- in University City north of the Danforth campus. The student was approached by four subjects who asked him for money. The student continued to walk on by and was then struck by one of the subjects with a fist. The subjects then took his cell phone and some cash and fled to the north."

(Sheesh. This is why I don't walk around at night with my wedding ring. It seems like every 3 months there's a robbery on the corner, well, actually they seem to be happening more frequently. I'm beginning to get desensitized to it.)

On the happy side today I got a holiday card from a former student. That made me smile. He said we should have a "Writing 1 Reunion." LOL.

We'll be leaving soon to see Craig Ferguson at the Pageant. It should be fun. I really like Mr. Ferguson. I think he's easily the most humorous late night guy. Hopefully it will be fun.

Well, there's nothing else too happy right now, so I'll keep my whining to myself. I'm so scattered right now.
