Davis cops vs. The Heat June 23, 2006
Posted by oharanator in Uncategorized.trackback
i was riding my bike home today after work at 4ish. at this time of day, it’s VERY hot. over 100. and my bike is slow lately because i need to put air in the tires (but the pump is in the area where the black widow lives) and my bike probably needs a good tune up as well. HOWEVER i’m scared of the black widow and i have no money for a tune up. so i just ride really slow.
anyway, things were going along. i then got to the corner of pole line and eighth street, and i see two cop cars blocking it off. GREAT. first of all, i don’t like davis cops. they are bored and have nothing better to do than make everyone’s lives miserable. and they block off whole streets for REALLY stupid reasons. i’m sure there was no need to block off the entire street. i mean, what if i lived down that street?!
so i had to go down pole line and then down loyola. this probably isn’t much longer. it’s probably the same. but there’s less shade and it feels longer. and the HEAT was killing me.
so i grumbled at the stupid cops (i thought they were stopped to exchange snacks, because one of them had a bag of chips in his hand, but i later found out they had blocked off the entire street all the way to TULIP and we don’t know why but we speculate a tree fell in the road. it happens.)
then i was drinking water from my water bottle and i lost the cap, so i threw the rest of the water on my head and kept riding. i felt better after the water on my head.
grrrrr davis cops. grrrr heat. i’m not sure which i dislike more.
I encounted those cops too and it was definatley SUSPICIOUS. I bet they were trying to arrest the heat for making then uncomfortable, or something ridiculous like that. I approached the copper on my bike at the same time this lady was crossing the street, and she started getting all fussy over something, and I asked if I could ride through and he said “NO” and didn’t even look at me. Anyway, time to not think about cops and think about BBQ!!!
