The long hot spring

muckefuckSo it's not just the weather which was summery this weekend. It didn't make the list, so I don't know what was going down around 9:30 last night when Mazeppa gave me a ride home from Scruffy's, but Ridge was completely blocked off at Howard Street. There were at least a half dozen squad cars. Once it became clear to Mazeppa that there was no way through, he calmly turned into a side street and rode over to Clark instead.
It recalled an incident earlier in the day at the local market where I'd gone to buy ingredients for the salad I made. Three employees were facing off in the entryway with some angry young man who was loudly calling for witnesses to the fact that he'd been "pushed out of the store and they broke my silver chain". Seeing he wasn't armed, I passed within a foot of him and nonchalantly strolled into the store even as people there were looking my way trying to determine the source of the raised voices that carried after me through the door.
Later I saw two more employees hustling that way, obviously having been summoned, and upon leaving I saw an unmarked police car and your man in cuffs on the sidewalk. I couldn't figure out what his deal was. How much does it cost to repair one link in a silver chain? A touch of warm weather and people just go nuts with the poor decisions.
