Just a Thought

The other day, I got bad news that my good friend Michele did not make it through the police academy. It was heart breaking because this was her second time through. To know her, you know she would make a great street cop. She is smart, level headed, and knows her stuff. I have never seen anyone so dedicated or determined to pass as her. She passes the written tests, the practicals, everything. The only thing keeping her from her dream of being a police officer is a 6 foot wall. A SIX FOOT WALL!!!!! Come on people.......How can 6 feet define if a person gets to be a police officer or not. It's ashame. I have worked patrol and I am going to tell you, I am not jumping a six foot wall after a suspect.....Too dangerous. They can be waiting on the other side waiting to ambush you or shoot you. It's stupid....set up a perimeter. Anyhow, she says she will put herself through the academy one more time. I know she will make it this time. I don't think anything will keep her back this time. Go Get 'Em Michele.

Funny Posting in the Sun Post.

Well, I joined the Sun Post Newpaper's Fantasy Football League. Ike Dodson, the sports editor, wrote introductions for each participant in the fantasy football league. I found my introduction to be pretty funny. That Ike is a character. I clipped the article and included it so everyone can read it:

David Fletcher
A quick glance at Fletcher’s mug says it all. He’s a confident and savvy fantasy manager with the brains of a dolphin and the brawn of a steroid injected gorilla. The photograhper’s passion for the game and love for his own team finish far second in comparison to his quest for fantasy football greatness. He once burned a Houston Texans flag in a bet to acquire Wes Welker from an opposing owner. Now the Texans fan spends his time spying on Frank Gore and Bryant Johnson at the 49ers training camp, and was once kicked out of the camp for offering to pay Gore to tank the season for $34 and a large bag of hot cheetos. He returned, disguised as a water boy and had J.T. O’Sullivan’s dirty underwear tested for any traces of sleeper potential.

We drafted our teams on Sunday. I don't think I drafted well at all. My best players are Terrell Owens, Eli Manning, and Justin Fargas, and Adam Vinaterri. I did get the 49ers and the Texans defenses. I think I will have fun with this football year win or not.
