Neighborhood Watch Groups

[bobbbiez]

Just returned home from W.Utica's Neighborhood Watch Group meeting and thought I'd make a few comments about these groups and why people should get involved.

Please don't say you're not interested because you live in a better part of the city and your neighborhood is safe. I heard that statement from people who live in other parts of Utica far too many times. Residents from N.Utica were some of those people. At tonight's meeting our director told us that N.Utica was now in need of group and their first meeting was tonight also. He offered our assistance to the N.Utica group in helping to set up their meetings and agendas.

The city of Syracuse are now forming neighborhood groups also to help them combat crime on their streets. I guess now is better then never, but why should an area wait before crimes become obvious in their area. Like I have always stated, the criminal is not going to just stay in Cornhill or W.Utica. Sooner or later, especially since these areas have effective watch-groups, the criminals will move to other areas to do their crimes.

Neighborhood watch-groups assist the police when and where criminal activities are taking place. The police can't possibly be in all places all the time. They need our eyes and ears to help them. We are excellent "watch-dogs" for the police. We watch out for each other in our neighborhoods. That is the only way to combat crime and to push out the undesirables. We get involved to make our streets safe again. We're taking our streets back but we ALL have to get involved no matter where one lives to accomplish this.

Thanks Dave. I did miss it.

You're quite the man! I always enjoy your stories, imagination and following your trips. You always manage to put a big smile on my face and I thank you for that (especially since my Yankees lost tonight................but there's tomorrow.)

Heck, I live in deathly fear of that superhero, and I live 750 miles away. She slaps me up side of my head at least once a day and usually more, hahaha.

I have to wonder about the tall image portrayed in the graphic though Dave. She is "no bigger than a minute" haha. It does explain all the foot problems this past year though. She probably injured her foot while leaping over the senior citizen apartments in W Utica while enroute to slap up a drug dealer wandering on Lenox Ave.

"I have to wonder about the tall image portrayed in the graphic ..."


Artistic license. And heels. Not to mention, she's larger than life.

[Clipper]

They don't MAKE heels THAT tall, LOL. She IS bigger than life in many areas. She is big in heart, and spirit, and (shhhh don't tell her that I said this) sometimes big in the mouth.

Damn, I better shut this thing off and not come back for a couple of days until the smoke clears, hahahaha. Now where did I put that titanium cup? Hmm.

[bobbbiez]

Clipper, we never worried about size. I have always practiced what our former President, Teddy Roosevelt, was best known for saying........"speak softly but carry a big stick." ;D

Need I say more?

[Clipper]

I guess being your age, you may have met him and he may have told you that personally, but I am just a young fella. I don't remember his presidency, haha.

I DO however have a great fear of little people with big sticks and where the range of their blows might hit us taller folks, haha. Oh dear!! Where is that titanium cup!

[bobbbiez]

Clipper, now as far as the "mouth" comment..............is this where the kettle is calling another black?

Where the hell do you think I learned it from here on the Corner?

[bobbbiez]

Range? My daddy taught all his daughters well what to aim for. ;D

[Clipper]

I don't have a big mouth Sunshine, just very long winded fingers and an overheated keyboard, haha.

I am sorry about the big mouth thing kiddo. Your mouth is of average size, but it is much more active and fast moving than some others, hahahaha.

[bobbbiez]

Now, now Clipper. Just keep in mind my aiming expertise. ;D

Need I say another word?

ps: it's no wonder why your computer is always on the bum.
