To: Diana in Wisconsin

Last night at work, I was the only Sgt for both the early and late roll calls and there was no LT so I was in charge on that entire section of rhe city.

10 minutes into the 1st roll call a drive by shooting occurs in my area and we had to run out of roll call to handle it (make sure the previous watch could go home on time.)

While investigating that shooting we have a “walk up” complaint of a robbery with the same suspect....so now we are at 2 felony investigations.

Then another report of a shooting in pur area, a guy threatening to jump off our bridge (false alarm,) several domestic violence incidents in progress, “a 100 cars racing and doing donuts in a busy intersection” and more DV incidents, a pervert looking into windows.....and some stuff I forget even happened....not to mention the usual admin stuff (sarge can I have thebq8th and 19th off?)

A very busy night.

But I did still find a 15 min window of time to take a break and diagram the layout of my garden and greenhouse on a big sheet of butcher paper!!

Now I just need to tape the backside of it with clear packing tape (essentially laminating it on one side) which will protect it from tearing.

I will then be able to write in every plant species and variety to maximize the garden.

I did this last year but on a piece of cardboard which wasn’t big enough for my needs.

This way is going to be more efficient because I will still be able to roll it up while having it be large enough.

I will most likely be starting some seeds in the greenhouse next week.
