After the last call that I just blogged, I get a call from a resident crazy person. She, unfortunately, is a doctor in the mental health area. She has a way of speaking that is a bit off putting. She kind of takes a breath between each word, making everything she says seem unnecessarily urgent.
Just to give you some background, she used to call and say there were two boats in the gulf (she lives on the beach) and that they were doing big drug transactions, like bringing in a boatload of drugs from Columbia or something. This went on for weeks, literally weeks. I finally sent out Officer Bock, whom she detests and she told me so when she called the 6th time for the same call. I said, well, he's the only one available, so too bad. He stood in back of her house on the beach and looked out. He could not see any boats in the area. He went to speak with her and said, "are you looking through a telescope?" She said, "why, yes I am." He said, "you are seeing boats that are about 250 miles away." She didn't like that and called me to tell me that she felt the officer was wrong.
So now you understand the type of person that we are dealing with. Today she calls up to say that there are suspicious people on the property next door. Again, with the breath in between each word making it sound like they are cat burglars or murderers. I hate to admit this, but they were actually trespassing on private property. The house is vacant and for sale, but they still aren't allowed on it. I think this was a first, she actually called in a good call. And she happened to like these officer's. You know I would have sent her Bock if I could, but he isn't here yet. :)
