Interesting, well written, and funny story, Mark. Thanks for that! I especially liked the part about curling up in a fetal position behind the Vax. Classic. Reminds me of the time when the neighbor shot his wife a couple times and the cops were outside my apartment in college making noise late at night. It went on and on. Plus, I guess she was wounded fairly egregiously so there were fire trucks an ambulance etc... I Just took a two-man tent and pitched it on top of a building-scale cooling grate at the church across the street, just outta view of the cops. I'm not sure how they work but it was one of those where you could look down through the grate and see a lot of running water and a huge fan. The grate was about 12'x14'; so plenty of room. I threw a light sleeping bag in the tent to keep it from lifting up and blowing around, jumped in, and crashed. The cops woke me up at about 7AM the next morning and I told them what happened. They just laughed then told me to pack up and go home. One snarky cop says: "We'll try to be more quiet next time we come out on an attempted murder call near your place. Don't forget to put out your campfire. Haha." (I didn't have a camp fire, FYI). :-) College, man... I was a bit outta control and college was mostly pointless, but least there was more to do back then than looking forward to trash-day and hoping my hair loss will slow down, hehe. -Swift
