So, as I was leaving the other day, I was surprised to see a crime scene van, and quite a few members of Austin's finest in my building's garage. I figured something had gone down in the old nightclub or convenience across the street. NOPE! Double stabbing after a domestic dispute. I live in a nice building, and besides from being mugged on halloween night, in a good neighborhood, but now I am just a bit more on edge about my car in my building, and always having my door dead bolted when I'm in. Anyone else deal with dumb bullshit in their building?

Come live in Pflugerville. I'd much rather deal with TCSO.

I'll go biking in Blue Hills ever once in a while. One day there were a bunch of Staties coming down thee trail. Not wanting to be involved in anything we didn't have to be, we went left and they went right. Turns out someone made a bad deal and was burned and dumped just down the trail a bit.

Yes, but I can walk downtown, where I perform and stuff. I'm still in my phase of life where living downtown is great.

Where do you perform?

Having a house and three kids, and living in RRISD rather than AISD is definitely a different deal. Were I 26 again and newly married and without kids, living downtown would be great.

I go to school in Rochester, NY. I live in the city in a house with 4 friends and a large "backyard" (driveway). One day walking out to my truck to head into school I noticed the back door of the house is open. this door goes directly down to the basement that we don't use because it resembles a human trafficking holding area, and has another door to the back of the kitchen that is usually dead bolted. Were college kids, we leave bags of cans and a couple kegs in this area until we take them to get the deposit back. I thought it seemed odd of because this door to the outside too was dead-bolted I thought noticed the bags of cans seemed moved around. I go upstairs to get a roommate to walk down with me because of the creepiness of the basement. I also grabbed my (legal to have) Glock from my safe under my bed. Ya know, Just. In. Case.

Well we walk down the stairs and make the corner from the stairs and see two bags of cans ripped open, I look to the next corner and see two homeless looking men in the corner COUNTING MY DAMN RECYCLABLES. I reach back to behind my waist, you know Just. In. Case. but do not at any point pull my hand gun out. I shout

"AYE. What the hell is going on?"

Roommate damn near jumped out of his shoes. The men jump up and bolt towards the stairs. We didn't bother to stop them cause it was obvious they were homeless. we chased up the stair but they were gone. Long story short, we now make sure every door in the house is locked at all times, and the back door is well secured.

Haven't had any problems since but it was mostly startling because my girlfriend is sometimes in the house alone when I'm at work and my roommates are out.

Scary I guess.
