It was quite the day, yesterday.
Early in the morning while I was at work, the local Police searched for a dangerous fugitive on the loose in the neighborhood, trudging through the drainage canals, crawling over fences into backyards, knocking on doors to search homes and garages (no word on if they found him or not).
I received a barrage of texts messages from friends and neighbors as that was going on, made for interesting reading. My neighbors are all of a decidedly "Make My Day" stripe.
Later in the day after completing a small job offsite we were riding back into Denver and we passed a crime scene in front of a 7-ll convenience store. The Sheriff's had all entrances and exits blocked off (parking lot as well as store) and little yellow triangular evidence markers were scattered about on the ground indicating shell casings. Behind two deputies who were examining a car with all the doors and the trunk open lay a body covered in a blanket.
Then a late afternoon storm erupted, bringing rain of biblical proportions (nearly two inches in the hour between three and four o'clock qualifies as biblical - hell, the monthly average for June is barely two inches). As the ground had already been saturated by the 5.5 inches of rain that had fallen in June to date, the water ran off into the streets and drivers had to battle floods - then the hail started falling, about the size of grapes.
Oh the humanity.
