Turn the knob to 11

I feel like shit

I don't know the facts but I had to do something. After a really good day at work I came home ready to brave the 86 degree heat and winds on a bike. As I'm sitting in the upstairs, um, office, I can hear the neighbors behind my house having a domestic dispute. With just open windows, at 150 feet, and with a stiff crosswind I could hear a >300lb man raging verbally against his wife. So I called 911. Better safe than sorry. In the time it took me to get my kit on and air up the rear tire on the Rig there were 3 MPD squads in the street. I roll off toward the RR tracks for a rough work-out and the Thin Blue Line has things under control. After a brief stop at TBS East Sieeeeeeeda to check the slow leak on the rear tire I head down the RR line easterly. Suffice it to say I had a good ride. Upon my return 3 hours later the neighbors are in chaos. I suspect the husband was arrested as his wife and childeren are being attended to by a few of the wife's family. Currently a 2yr old is hysterically refusing to enter a car. The other neighbors seem to feel the right thing was done but it doesn't make me feel better.

Just think of how bad you'd feel if you hadn't called MPD and someone had gotten hurt.

You did the right thing. I'm proud of you.
