Call 911!

"madison, let's go!"

this entails getting shoes on, finding her baby, putting it in the baby stroller, and then hanging her purse on the handle - then we are ready to go... take the trash out. as our little entourage walked outside to the garbage i was distracted by flashing lights and a man yelling at the top of his lungs.

i grabbed madison and headed out to the street where we saw several police cars, a firetruck, ambulance, and police SUV. neighbors were congregating across the street and as i made my way towards them i saw many officers (8?) fighting to constrain the source of the yelling. i find out this man is a "druggie" and had been wandering through our quiet little neighborhood through people's yards. apparently 911 was called and they came and picked him up.

i don't know what he was on but he screamed the whole time it took the officers to strap him to a gurney and the whole way to the ambulance. "these skinheads are taking me to medical! somebody please help me! call 911! my name is ____ ____ ____!"

i had to laugh. we live in a crazy world.
