A cop came by last night just as we were finishing up our fireworks. [View all]

We greeted him politely and thanked him for being out keeping things safe. I had my cane and two of my disabled neighbors in wheel chairs were there. Our house is sort of an oasis. The cop liked the appreciation. Patrolling on holidays like that has got to be a horrible shift. It's not something I would want to do. I'd have offered him a beer, but he was on duty.
