Remembering working the LA Riots
Those were interesting times, I only had 2 years on the PD, had just wheeled to my “off probation” division – Northeast (NOE), and was a PII dog. PII dog, is police vernacular for being a full fledged police officer and not a “boot”, which is police vernacular for an offer that is “brand new”.
I’ll never forget, we worked four deep to a car and we always responded to events in the South End of Los Angeles in groups of 4 cars. That was a couple of years before I made motors.
I wonder what that “Denny” fella is up to today? If you remember, he was that truck driver that was ripped out of his truck and beaten within an inch of his life. I think I recall, Reginald at some point, apologizing to those criminals that beat him, which angered me (if memory serves)…
Now for some Real Estate news 
It has been three weeks since I have taken a full day off(as I am typing this on my day off ). I did clear my calendar to spend time with those more 
important to me, my family.
I have a feeling that we are going to spend some time absorbing the local Santa Clarita Culture. Maybe go to the Valencia Town-Center mall, have a walk around and go to Wokcano and have Sushi.
On second thought, I may try to take my family to the “Kings” in Calabasas.
Either way, with the exception of the my “daily” internet routine and updates, I am going to do my best to take the entire day off… We’ll see…
