Altercation

Last night there was an altercation with a gentleman when I advised him he was under arrest. They always teach us in training that things can go from good to bad to worse in a heartbeat. It just amazes me how quickly things happen and how ready one needs to be. Typically, most people are compliant. However, lets face it...no one wants to go to jail. I know you are probably wondering what happened, but this story will have to be told when I see you. You could just lift up a prayer and ask that the process goes smoothly. You see, when ever you lay hands on someone which results in a hospital visit there are several policies and procedures to go through in the aftermath, not to mention possible law suits. The good news is the video camera in my squad captured it all and showed we were in compliance with the control and arrest tactics that we are trained to use. Thanks for your prayers and we will chat later.

And sleep even harder.....

94 mph

The other night I clocked a car scootin' along at 94 mph. Now I thought they would at least slow down once they were close enough to see me.... Wrong! They blew on by like a was I was not even there. Now, I tend not to give too many lectures or be smart when dealing with the public, but some people just ask for it. When asked why she was traveling so fast, the driver stated she didn't even know how fast she was going. I then informed her of her vehicle's state of the art speedometer, which is primarily used to indicated the speed the vehicle is traveling. She looked confused, so I further informed her that the general idea is to keep the needle around the number that correlates to the speed limit on the particular road she is traveling. The driver then responded, "Yeah, but I am coming from Alabama" and added a look as to say "duh". I said, "Oooo.. I forgot that Alabama allows people to drive 94 mph." She advised me that Alabama does not allow you drive that fast. "Exactly", I said. I went on to explain to her in great detail what would have happened if she would have crashed her car, or struck another vehicle. Obviously, she received some tickets and hopefully made it home safe and sound.

Common Spelling?

Yesterday, while I was getting ready for work my wife was putting together a meal for a family in town. I was suppose to take it on my way to work. As I prepared to leave Katie told me the bag was ready and on the kitchen counter. I grabbed the bag and noticed a note inside. The note gave directions for heating up the meal followed by our names. I quickly glanced over it and began to leave. I then realized something was not right. I looked at the note again and saw the our last name was rather hard to read. I noticed my wife had mispelled our last name and tried to correct it, which resulted in a form of chicken scratch. Katie said, "I forgot the h". Thus resulting in Yencko. Needless to say, if you ever receive a note from us and there is just a Y on it....we are just trying to simplify things.

It's these lil quirks I love so much honey. I love you. Happy Valentines Day

Maiden Voyage

I have never had a blog before, nor do I really know what to do with one. However, with my line of profession and recent induction into fatherhood... I believe that a blog could be rather entertaining. So sit back and enjoy. You will soon realize why I simply smile and shake my head when asked, "Anything new at work" or "How is fatherhood?"
