Reminds me of when I lived in Inglewierd. Cops and robbers running right through our front yard.

No thanks. I’ll stay here, in the boonies.

Hiya, Sandy! Been on any rides lately?

Yes, we just did a charity ride for Children’s Hospital this past Sunday. The whole weekend raised nearly $700K for the hospital. Good deal! I have almost 500 miles on my new Harley now. I would have liked to ride more this weekend, but it was in the 90s and miserable.

No sympathy from you desert rats, I know.

Bank robbers and car chases are bit unusual in downtown Seattle. I’m pretty sure the guy they cornered is dead, because the medical people weren’t in any kind of hurry once they dragged his sorry butt out of the car (after blowing out his windows with two volleys from I don’t know how many guns.)

Unlike LA, they didn’t stay in the “standoff” mode for more than ten minutes after they cornered him. They peppered his car with gunfire, counted slowly to 500, then approached the car and dragged him out. He was blocking the bus lanes, you see. Can’t have that.
