Har dee har har.

From what I understand the smack in the Corridor is all pretty low grade for the homeless who want their high right now. Its not the drugs that keep the addicts in the Corridor its most likely the NSO which in turn keeps the DDs in the area.

I was peeing on a dumpster in the Corridor near Cass when she was doing her power walk right by me, I caught up with her and walked together for a mile or two. We had met before, I pumped her gas once at a gas station because I was walking by and already was smitten with her.

To say nothing of wanting to earn a dollar for another lid.

Wow, I haven't seen the term "lid" in at least 20 yrs. Do they still sell it like that?

MAF, maybe you should reconsider. 20 years-- and I know that you know exactly what I mean-- really isn't that far back. I swear that I haven't run across "lid" anytime within the last 40 years.

I'll split the difference with you and go 30 yrs. BTW, can you still get a dime or a nickel bag? How big would a dime bag be now: one very skimpy joint?

I have no idea, although I figure that our associate is correct about dime, certainly nickel, bags long ago becoming Things of the Past.
I would expect that $10 may get you a pair of slender joints.
I say that I have no idea because, while I never "officially quit," I lost my taste for weed somewhere in the 1990's.
Frankly, between the awful, skunkaphonic odor of the stuff currently being smoked and the I Can't Find My Ass With Both Hands effect that it seems to have, I really wouldn't want to smoke any of the fucking crap that is out there now.

I think it was in the early ninety's that I smoked one that caused me not to be able to find my pulse, let alone my considerable ass. I have no idea what that shit was laced with but whatever it was had me convinced that I was one of the walking dead.

Default Belle Isle Hippie Beach
Curious if anyone's been out there to the rogue beach past the lighthouse on BI? I got a ticket for swimming in my river a couple of years ago and have not been able to afford the cost of the ticket. I can only assume I have a bench warrant out so I'm afraid to even go near BI. Im just curious if that little oasis even exists this summer.

I never had a problem on Belle Isle with the so called "Riff Raff" in the past so I gotta say that this summer without BI is going to suck. Yeah I know, I'm guilty, I took a swim.

I (wo)manned up and had to go with my mother to Mt. Clemens to pay the damned thing and listened to her bitch all the way there and back; she was worse than the cops. I didn't even know it was restricted but I was in the wrong so I took care of it. You were breaking the law, asshole, even if you don't like the law. Quit being such a pussy.

BTW Ding Dong, I dont have a problem with drugs so screw you for accusing online and in public of having one. I am perfectly at ease with the drugs I take, we have a good relationship.

What else you got for me to shoot down? PULL!

Default Armed robber thwarted at Packard - "no crime committed" say police

Yesterday myself and Django were on Concord Street on the eastern side of the Packard Plant for some photography of the building's exterior.

There is 24/7 security on-site now, but only one guard at any given time. The guard is friendly enough, un-armed and keeps a close eye on things. He won't allow access to the inside of the plant (stick to the main streets) and says he phones the Sheriff if anyone is found inside.

Anyway, I was shooting some pix on Concord while Django sat in his pick-up truck. The next thing I hear is Django saying "Get in the car!". I looked around and saw some youths in hoodies walking towards me. (Hoodies in summertime?)

I picked up my camera bag, walked over to the pick-up and threw the bag into the back of the truck. Then I went back for my tripod. As I walked towards the car with it, I noticed one youth running straight towards me. I threw the tripod into the truck and dived into the back of the truck, lying on top of my equipment.

By this stage the youth had reached the truck and was holding what appeared to be a Glock pistol. He was standing at the passenger window and yelled "Give it up!".

Django was in the driver's seat unaware that the kid had a gun. I could see it plainly. The next thing I heard was the screech of our tires on the road and we got out of there.

As the car edged forward, the youth was now beside the flatbed, with me lying in it. I could've easily been shot. Luckily the youth didn't fire, or maybe he only had a replica or unloaded pistol.

I asked Django whether we should report the matter to Police. He seemed to think there was little point, but we saw the Packard security guard driving by and pulled up beside him. He phoned police and three or four squad cars arrived in quick time.

We did our best to give a description of the thugs. The police went cruising around to look for them but I don't know what they found, if anything.

According to the police no crime was committed because the thieves got nothing from me and "seeing someone with a gun" is not a crime.

We made it out safely, but a guy brandishing a pistol within inches of us is "not a crime"?

I feel the same way, except I have a gun.

I'm glad to know that. I think Frank may have gotten lucky and should not let the happiness of Mrs. FUIGB, et al, depend on his glowering face and/or the nearness of his hammer.

Wise up, Frank. They weren't intimidated; they assessed the risk::reward ratio, and moved on of their own accord.
Gas up elsewhere. Southfield and, increasingly, Oak Park have become annexes-- in the worst sense-- of Detroit.

They just looked at that Saturn and thought "that poor guy".

I figure if I am in the right frame of mind that the fuel pouring out of a pump is a pretty good weapon.
