The Streets Of San Francisco

I was talking to our Art Buyer and Production Director in their office at work when I saw a guy run up to a car and frantically opening the door. Strange sort of hurry I was thinking when a policeman suddenly appeared on a bicycle and grabbed him. The guy turned round swinging a punch that caught the policeman in the chest knocking him off his bike and onto his back in the road. The guy looked around and then legged it.

The policeman got up jumped on his bike and went after him. I was just thinking "that was a bit of excitement" when the guy ran back in to view and jumped into the car. As he tried to start the car the policeman also reappeared on his bike. On reaching the car, he couldn't get to the guy trying to run because he had locked the doors from the inside. The policeman ran to the front of the car and stood with his hands raised shouting to the guy to stop. The driver edged forward and the officer leaped onto the bonnet hanging on with one hand as he pulled his gun with the other hand.

The driver was still determined to go and seeing this, the officer smashed the drivers window with his gun. As he aimed the gun again the guy floored the gas and the officer was sent spinning and flying out into the road.

It was just a little more than I was hoping to see at the end of a busy day at work!

Massive Blow Job

We were in Belize the week that the hurricane was due to score a direct hit. And a category 5 at that! We were also picking up the keys for our newly finished beach cabana. And know here we were faced with the possibility of it being blown to bits of covered by the surge from the sea as the coastline is battered by a hurricane.

The good news (for us but not Honduras) is that the storm changed course 24 hours before it was due to hit us. This meant we were able to spend the whole week in our house. We weren't able to complete all the things we had planned because of the disruption to daily life caused by the country being on hurricane alert. It didn't really matter in the end as we just relaxed and enjoyed being on our own beach!
