If you're irate, don't hesitate!!

Yesterday some crack head came into the bar to use the payphone to call his drug dealer,

"Man we're at such and such a corner you got to hurry up I got three guys with me."

I recognized the guy as the guy from South Street who's always trying to get me and my friend to give him money for a "train" to Ardmore. This guy's been stuck at 18th and south for months now with his car broke down and booted.

I look across the street and one of the guys with him is the guy I saw being arrested across from McGlincheys by two squad police cars with every cop having their gun pointed at him like two weeks ago. And the first guy is making this girl go through her purse looking for money as he's scamming her.

So I pick up my cell phone and call the cops. I tell them there's three guys on the corner waiting to buy drugs. They ask me to describe them and their like "Do you know what the car looks like" and I'm like "Uh no. But if you wait I'm sure it'll show up." So they tell me that they'll send somebody out.

AND they actually do! A nice big huge POLICE van shows up and of course the three scketchy guys are like "We're waiting for the bus"
So the cops like. "Yeah sure" So he stands there with them or something.

The view was being blocked by the van. And after about twenty minutes one of the guys gets thrown in the van, maybe they searched him or something and the other two are off down the street. Probably to hang out in front of my house

So then about fifteen minutes later on the south side of the street, there's this guy with his cell hanging out looking for and this could just be a guess folks his customers. He was there for like an hour.

So that and then check out robbynewwave's latest entry and see why I'm not hesitating to call 911 anymore. The police told the neighborhood people to call if you see scam artists or drug dealers operating just call it in.

I heart Philly cops!

Thanks for the Art!

Friday night we went to see The Waitstaff perform at the 5 spot. The show was hilarious and Thanksgiving themed. John Difelice's song at the end Thanks for Giving was exceptionally giggle worthy.

Saturday I worked from noon to 11:30 and hung out with some friends afterwards. Didn't feel that high energy for a Saturday night. Kind of tired...

Sunday, got slammed with flu-like symptoms - clammy and achey all over barely could even walk. I worked till 6 stocking up the bar and waiting on a couple of customers and then miraculously was saved by a co-worker and relieved to go home sick. I know I probably passed up a lot of money what with the Eagles game starting at 8 but there was no way I would have made it through the next four hours. And being busy and not being able to be cheerful is not my thing.

Spent the rest of the evening zonked out on the couch with some chicken soup and crackers. The real first food I've eaten in three days.

We were supposed to get a new kitten for the house but my beau couldn't find any at the two shelters and three pet stores he went to. He said at one store, there was some ASPCA kittens that had already been adopted that would have fit his "Scoobiness barometer" but they already had good homes to go to. Hopefully next Sunday he'll have better luck.

Tonight a friend and I will be attending Hotel Obligodo's performance of Dottie, tomorrow is a double shift and Wednesday is a totally official Phedrang's Day Off.
