The last two weeks have been hectic as I have been working at the Ice Park every day. They feed me so I’m saving money but I don’t get out much. I’m in the webcam room when I’m not out in the park moving or adjusting cameras. We had some wind the last couple days and several cameras got swung around and off their subjects.
A few days ago, Wa asked me to help her clean up Kevin’s room. He’s the idiot that ‘borrowed’ Stacie’s jeep 4 times but the first 3 times was able to get out of being punished for it with some fast talk. This last time, he felt he could keep it most of the night and on into the morning. At 10AM, Stacie and Wa head on down to the police station to sign a grand theft complaint and mentioned that they thought they knew where he was, telling them the name of the apartments, when they finished the paper work and left they drove by the apartments and there was the jeep in the parking lot. Just as they pulled into the lot, 3 cop cars arrived. Kevin comes running out trying to get off the hook but only ended up making a fool of himself with ridiculous excuses. He gets arrested, the cops find out he’s on probation and isn’t allowed to drive to begin with, and he’s thrown into jail for 5 months for violating parole. Then a couple days later Stacie goes before the grand jury with her complaint. So he’s probably looking at a felony charge and a year or two in prison. I worked with him for months there at the Ice Park and he was kind of a friend, a friend you never really trust.
Anyway, he’s in jail and we were in his room upstairs cleaning it up and I leave my camera there. I get busy downstairs, forgetting it for an hour or so, someone finds it and runs off with it. Several days later, and after several checks around the building because I couldn’t quite remember where I left it, I check again and there it is hanging on that nail in Kevin’s room. But the memory stick is gone! All those great pictures I had of the park, gone. So I have retraced my steps around the park and taken 85 new pictures. Unfortunately, I am swamped with work with the Ice competition. I’ll get to it as soon as I can…
Sorry…
