There was an escape from a local correctional facility. The perpretrator (perp for short) was incarcerated for assault and in possession of a deadly weapon (legalese for gun). Well, our youngest daughter finished her part in the local elementary school play and we all went home together. I left my partner working in the office. Someone's gotta work - better it is my partner than me. Anyway, the school wouldn't let any of the other kids home without them being picked up by their parents. Helicopters (counted 4) flying around all afternoon and now tonight. Police cars everywhere. The doughnut shops are empty. I hope the helicopters don't collide up there. Evidently the evening news indicated the guy broke into three houses in our immediate area, changed clothes, got food and then beat a woman up with a brick. Not a good night. She's in the hospital but will do well. I've got the kids home, house locked, outside lights on, dogs well fed and have a baseball bat and a loaded Glock (sorry for all the anti-gunners out there). Sometimes your second ammendment rights seem more important at times like this. Hope to get some sleep and get back to normal tomorrow morning with patient care again. One patient cancelled out tonight due to this problem. Fortunately its not quite as bad as flooding or tornados. I'll keep in touch.
