excitement and flashing lights

oh yay. exciting. I heard a bunch of police sirens and walked out my front door to look. A pickup truck was being chased by a bunch of police cars... one of its tires had gotten a flat and was sparking.. it turned the corner in front of my house, and was finally stopped behind the wood fence where I couldn't see... a bunch of yelling... I saw one cop doubled over, as if he had been kicked in the leg... after a bit, I went to the fence to look, and saw the driver apprehended, on the ground. still bunches of flashing lights.

I think I saw that pickup driving by earlier in the day.

uh-oh. now there's an ambulance out there too.

for real

2011/08/31 Police action outside my yard. They were chasing a pickup truck, which had gotten a flat, and was finally stopped right there behind the wood fence. Lots of commotion. An ambulance came too. I think I heard the word "crack" a few times. They are in the process of towing away the truck now, and the lights have finally stopped flashing.

And Qiao is missing *all* the excitement. If he hurries home he *might* still see a cop car or two...
