My property abuts a high school property. Yesterday when I was on my
deck I noticed 3 kids in the act of vandalizing a car parked at the
school. I called the cops and took a couple of digital pics from my
deck. The cops got them but the car had almost all its glass broken
and some metal damage. I think the car is a donated car to the auto
shop program so in one respect it's not too bad. Regardless, they
shouldn't have done what they did. One was a 6th grader.
Got to thinking today about Arlo Guthre and "Alice's Restaurant" and
the lyric "They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog
smelling prints, and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour
glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the
back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence
against us." If that song was to be written today saying; "They took
27, 9 Megapixle color digital images with Photoshopped circles and
arrows and a digitally enhanced paragraph about each jpeg image"
wouldn't be quite the same or have the same impact as the original
lyrics. And then some of you young guys have never heard of "Alice's
Restaurant." LOL btw, our police carry USB memory devices as part of
their gear so they can collect pics, etc. as needed.
