I'd Prefer Not To Live In The Middle Of An Episode Of 'Cops,' If That's Okay

At 3 am Wednesday morning, I heard helicopters buzzing our house. This went on for about an hour, and then it stopped. Later, I found out what happened: They caught eight Mexican drug smugglers whose boat washed up on our shore with a lot of pot aboard. And what the article doesn't mention is that the guys they arrested were armed. Thank freakin' God we lock our doors. Anyway, we've seen almost a parade of drug and human smuggling boats hitting our beaches from Mexico -- they think, maybe correctly, that they have a better chance of getting into the country this way because the border crossings have tightened up. But we're 100 miles up the coast, so that's a long, rough voyage. (Daily Breeze)
