I had a call from Kristen yesterday morning. There was a pursuit in So Cal of armed robbery suspects. I turned on my Los Angeles NBC channel and watched. They robbed a BofA in Canyon Country, 3 of the 5 bailed in Sylmar, the other two dashed down the 110 to South LA and drove in circles for what seemed like an hour, periodically tossing money out the window (10 times they did this). They were being pursued by a long line of LASD, LAPD, CHP, USC Campus Police, and Park & Rec. EVERYONE was called out to help with the persuit and the recovery of the cash. Finally they were stopped in a traffic jam and taken off to jail. No injuries except for an LAPD officer had his foot run over!


So, yesterday afternoon long-time friend, Charlean (Gottesman) Allen stopped by. She's up here visiting friends. She was a Deputy and worked Temple Station with Jerry. She showed up with her two little pals.... little snuggly loves....

We drank wine and talked and talked. Then we took the dogs to her friend's home in Merlin and headed back to Grants Pass. We had dinner at The Mediterranean. She likes Greek food (and Retsina!
after living in Greece for 4 months.


Shelley was back. She and her husband have sold the restaurant and she's working during the transition. So good to see her!!! Char and I had Moussaka. Awesome. Loved it. Charlie heads back to Hunting Beach in a few days. Good visit!


While we were doing dinner, my other LASD pals Jeannie & Bill Patterson and Joe and JoAnn Kirk were whooping it up at the coast in Depoe Bay at the Sea Hag Restaurant (a favorite of mine!)
(Thanks for sending the picture guys!)


All I know. Happy Thursday. JCRW luncheon today. Best get to gettin'. Ciao.
