We are so quick to criticize the good guys sometimes and no, I know they all aren't perfect, but it is a tough job and no amount of money can compensate the police for the risks they take on our behalf. I am, as I have said many times, very appreciative and grateful. It makes me SO annoyed, when I am driving a cart on the cartpath and trying to stay BACK from folks on a bicycle, only to be passed by either a newby, a renter or a snowbird, who will zoom up and tailgate them through the narrow places. I do say a few words under my breath.........Helene is usually sitting right next to me. I will look at her and she will look at me and we are just grateful to have a cart, a cartpath, and lovely places to go.

I hardly ever drink. Sometime when just out of high school to fit in. 45 years hardly even had drop in till Covid. Couple shots night to help me sleep. Covid has passed and so has my teetotaling. Back to my boring self. I agree LEOs has to put up with drunks and druggies everyday not to mention harden criminals. A thankless job. Two jobs I was never interested in law enforcement and nursing homes. Two jobs of unrecognized hero’s if they don’t get the attitude or mean?
