For the first time in many months I went running outside my house at night. Usually I go to the treadmill if I have to run at night.Unfortunately this happened across the street from my apartment a few minutes after I left home.
Needless to say that my wife freaked out when she heard gunfire right after I left and looked out the window to see people running everywhere and several people laying in the street.
Glad that I didn't run that direction. I went the other way, like I usually do.
I suppose that I can no longer claim that my neighborhood is safe despite its shady appearance.
I should also probably stop returning snide remarks to the kids who comment on my short shorts or my Forrest Gumpishness. |
