Just a day in the city


Ah, the ACC show is over for another year.  My best friend from the show is Miss Fitts, who went out to breakfast with me yesterday.  I picked her up at her hotel (I won't publicize which hotel since it is one I do not view in a positive light), and we dined on bagels with lox and cream cheese at the Polish market. It's a happening place where all sorts of people come by to chat with and learn from.

When a couple uniformed males walked by us, they caught my eye because I had not ever seen such uniforms before. I stopped one young man and he stayed to chat with us.  His badge read what I thought was SWAK. You recall that that was Sealed With A Kiss, a long time ago. 

So I learned that SWAT is Special Weapons and Target (I think that's right).  He lives up in Westminister, in Carroll County because he likes space around him, and works in the city. When I asked why he got into such tough scary work, he said his dad was a police officer. Miss Fitts asked if his work includes breaking down doors, (like on tv) and he said yes.  We talked about drugs in the city and then he had to go meet his fellow officers.  What a handsome fellow he is:  straight of posture, respectful, well-spoken, gorgeous blue eyes, no unkempt facial hair, and a meticulous uniform, with a gun along his right thigh.  City life for you.  Zip
PS  Do note that I did not contrast his behavior with the Millennials', this time, today, in this email.  I was tempted, and resisted
