This morning I went to the store and saw a guy standing at the bus stop waiting for a bus. Roughly a half hour later I came back and there were 2 cop cars at the bus stop and they had that same guy I saw bent over one of the cars and they were slapping the cuffs on him.
I don’t know what he did but he’ll probably have the charges on the books for a long time. It’s not surprising to see this around here. Several years ago it used to be more upper scale people living in these condos. Then they brought in the bus line and things went down hill. There have been robberies, break-ins, drugs, etc. I miss the way it was.. but they say you can never go home again. I guess that’s true.

Kids in Absecon went back to school today. I knew that because the traffic on my way to work this morning was heavier than usual with several stops because of school buses packed with kids. I saw kids walking to the buses with their shiny new clothes and backpacks full of pens, notebooks and other school supplies.
On Pitney Road the yellow flashing light, indicating a school zone, was working after the summer rest. Traffic slowed to 25 mph. All this brought me back to when my kids went back to school after a long summer off. I saw parents wiping away tears. Me? I was always the one jumping for joy!
