S.W.A.K.

No, wrong acronym. It was S.W.A.T. Tonight our neighborhood was locked down (no one could come in or out) while the local police and SWAT team responded to an incident at the end of our street. Apparently some estranged couple were having an armed spat and when police responded, the soon-to-be ex-husband refused to leave the house. They considered it a hostage situation and called in the big guns. The police set up a headquarters for the operation at the house across the street from us, so we got a pretty good view of fully armed men with large guns running up and down the street. Crazy!

(The pictures are a bit blurry due to our decision to not use flash photography at heavily armed officers.)

Wow Jen. I'm with you on the flash photography. Nice. I guess we all need a little excitement in our lives. Do you remember the time when the CIA came to talk to Tom Hidley about being the una-bomber cause one of his neighbors turned him in as a suspicious computer geek? Life is always interesting with the "right" neighbors......."This is my neighborhood man!"
