<p>Gunshots?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, over in the 100 block...</p>

<p>Apparently some ijit fired on a home the next cul-de-sac over.  That block is rental properties, not that that means anything, but there aren't any garages and people park on the street for the most part.  A neighbour says that there's been a fight over there brewing about parking spaces.  Good Gawd.</p>

<p>Police arrested someone early this morning.</p>

<p>  When I was in grad school we rented an apartment in the blue-collar section of a complex that had a large student population. One night my wife came bursting out of the bedroom exclaiming "there's a damn race riot going on out there!" I watched through the window as a couple of guys decided to start bashing out the headlights of a car they thought belonged to the other group.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>  The police finally decided it was worth responding to this call when someone reported that there were shots being fired.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>  We moved into a duplex south of town as soon as my lease was up.</p>

Back a way long time ago, maybe 1988 or so, on New Years Eve, my soon to be wife and I had a tradition of going into the city and staying at some nice hotel for the evening.<br><br>
Well, this one particular New Years Eve, many, many, many kids decided it was a great idea too. 20 or so of them would pool their money, and get a room for the evening. The hotel was overrun. This was a BIG hotel, probably 20 stories, hundreds and hundreds of rooms. It was about 11:30 or so, and for some reason I needed to go down to the lobby to get something. The elevators were packed with loud, screaming, obnoxious kids. After eventually getting downstairs and doing whatever I needed to do, I waited forever to get on the elevator again. It stopped on almost every floor, more and more kids getting on.<br><br>
At about the 5th floor, another pack of kids came on. The doors closed, and one kid pulled out a gun. He didn't intend to shoot anyone, probably just wanted to impress his friends. The doors opened up on the next floor, and I got the hell out. Bang. The kid (I don't think intentionally) shot the gun into the ceiling.<br><br>
I walked up the next 6 flights of stairs back to my room. More kids were in front of me walking the stairs too. Since I was older, and not dressed like a slob, they thought I was "security". I was afraid I would get beat up.<br><br>
I got back to the room, and we packed up and left. Even getting out of the place was difficult, it was such a zoo.
