The Secret (Sneaky) Park

I live in a pretty nice part of town. The neighborhood is pretty respectable, most of the people that live in the neighborhood have been in these houses since they were built. All of the houses are relatively large and extremely well kept.

At the end of our street their is a park that runs the entire length of the neighoborhood. Swallow and I drive this road everyday, when we are in the car together we always laugh because there is usually at least two or three different cars of teenagers skipping school and smoking pot or drinking at night and then there are always a older couples that are actually hooking up in their cars. We can only assume that the older cars are actually people who are cheating on their spouses. Why else would people in their forties and fifties go parking into the evening hours? Remember their is a possibility that just maybe they are trying to be spontaneous and keep the romance alive in their marriage, but I seriously doubt it. Either way, Swallow and I ALWAYS laugh when we see this activity.

Last night as I was leaving the house their was a seven car drug bust. The police had seven cars on the side of the road with the doors open, all the kids were sitting handcuffed on the hoods of the police cars or on the curbs. The police were searching the car (more like ripping everything out), but either way you look at it they call that searching. As I drove by I laughed and laughed, and then I called Swallow to inform her of the good times. I am not aware of the rules for drugs found in cars in the state of Colorado, however, I know that if you are in Florida and they find drugs in your car...you LOSE your car! It might very well be different out here, so I am not really sure about the consequences those kids face. I can tell you this, their lives are forever changed and I thought it was pretty funny.

It is so different being a older and actually wiser. I could have seen that drug bust coming months ago, but who am I to tell the munchkins about it. :)
