Apartment Life #543

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.

On Monday the police and ambulance were just down the street. They had one guy in handcuffs, and another person went to the ER in the ambulance. A lot of cops drove by but only one parked there. No idea what happened.

On Monday I was outside with Falcor and watched a guy walking down the street. He spotted a knapsack hidden in the bushes and pulled it out. He started pulling clothes out and then I watched as he pulled an AR-15 rifle out of it.  He turned it over and was looking closely at it and then walked over to someone's apartment. I didn't hear any gunshots this week so that's good. If I had a better phone camera I could have gotten a picture of him holding it but he was too far away for my phone camera to come out clear. One of these days I'm going to get a wearable body camera and just have the thing running every time I go outside.

Tuesday night we heard the police helicopter flying really low above us. Then they started circling the liquor store next door. 

My daughter went over there to get more pictures. 😂🤣 The bright lights are the cop cars. 


There were more police cars in the parking lot right in front of the liquor store too. The police had one guy and was talking to him but no one seemed to know what was going on.

Those bright lights are from the ambulance that I called for my daughter on Thursday night. She's fine now but that night she started having really bad chest pain and with her congestive heart failure we thought it best to go get checked out. Turns out it was a really bad muscle cramp and nothing more serious.
---

Thursday night the same time the ambulance was here for my daughter, I watched one of the homeless guys taking huge rocks and throwing them up at this second story bedroom window that faces my courtyard. He saw me watching him and he ran off. The woman that lives here hangs out with all the homeless people so I'm guessing they had an argument or something.

I will leave you with these 2 pictures of Falcor all ready for Halloween. 


Na na na na Batdog! Just in time for Halloween.


The high this week was 85F/29C
The low this week was 53F/11C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

  2. Did you call the cops about the rifle you saw? My guess is they'd be interested in hearing about that.

    1. No, it's not illegal to carry a gun or a rifle around in my state. If he had pointed it at someone, that I could call the police for. The police would have done nothing.

  5. The neighborhood may be hot with events going on obviously, but I see your temperature in the air has dropped a bit, lol. Falcor pulls off being Batman very well. Glad your daughter was not seriously sick. I'm afraid some of the people that live around you are so.

    He pulled an AR-15 out? I'd be calling the cops about that.

  7. Hi, Mary!

    It was another week filled with drama, excitement and mystery in your neighborhood, dear friend. You should create a podcast based on this Sunday feature. The main takeaway is that your daughter was given the all clear to go home after experiencing a health scare. I don't like the thought of an assault rifle hidden in the bushes in your neighborhood. Maybe the guy used it to hold up the liquor store. I'm glad I returned to blogging this week so that I could see my buddy Falcor dressed up as the ever vigilant Batdog, the winged crusader on a mission to save the city.

    This Thursday, the 29th, I will post my third and final Halloween offering for 2026. Hope you and Falcor can join the fun at Shady's Place. Until then, stay safe and well, dear friend Mary!

  11. Wow. Watching the guy pull an AR-15 rifle out of a bag in bushes is frightening. Hope your daughter is OK. And I must say, Falcor looks adorable in her Halloween outfit. Have a wonderful Sunday and hopefully no crazy moments.

  15. With congestive heart failure (my late mother I law had it) it was best to check it out and I'm glad your daughter is OK. Never a dull day in your neighborhood but that AR-15 incident was over the top, even for your neighborhood. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  20. I live in an asinine state where you are allowed to just carry automatic weapons around, too, as long as you don't point it at someone. I'm glad it wasn't too serious with your daughter. I hope she is feeling better.

  23. Homeless wanderers are a terror. Particularly when they become violent.

  24. Sweet face your dog has. That's a bit weird with the rifle. Something obviously happened next door with the Police helicopter and more Police in front of the shop....Thank goodness your daughter is alright, Mary.
