Thieves in the Night



This a.m., I looked out and noticed my dark green Diamondback bike with the longhorn handlebars was not where I parked last night.
The basket had been jettisoned around the corner by the pool. Since I ride it so much nobody with their wits intact would steal it to use, so it was stolen to sell.
I called the police, but Fred’s on vacation, which he certainly deserves. Americans get far less vacation than Europeans, and many don’t take what they are entitled to.  
My favorite presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, estimates that what with underemployment and discouraged workers no longer job hunting real unemployment in this country is upwards of 11 percent.

You would think the city could hire a couple 11-percenters to cover vacations, because when you need a city service, if it is not there then, it feels like it is never there.
