Yesterday was the coldest day of the year so far.
I had a made a nice comfort food dinner, a 'tamale pie' from my favorite cookbook "Dinners in a Dish or a Dash". It was bitterly cold outside but nice 'n toasty inside.
I was watching a new DVD, "The Fugitive Kind" with Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani, and was in under my big wool blanket on the sofa when I saw a flurry of lights passing all around the front yard through the front windows. At first I thought it was just headlights from a car, but then I noticed a figure of a man with a flashlight aiming it into my front yard! Then he came INTO the yard moving the light all around. I wasn't nervous and didn't think he was a burger or anything, that's just not Sag Harbor. I thought he must be a neighbor looking for a stray dog or cat. Then I noticed there were other men with him and before I knew it they were coming onto the porch and knocking on my door. I turned on the TV light that's in the window and went to open the front door. It was three Sag Harbor Policemen!
Cop cars in the night! |
All 3 cops were young & good looking |
They were looking for a Jesse (or Jerry?) Castillo, an underage kid who was missing. They confirmed my address. I said yes, you're correct, but no one lives here by that name. They asked if I was alone and I said yes. They admitted it could just be a coincidence since the names were the same, they were just checking all leads. Only after they left did I realize I had come to the door wearing only my red thermal underwear and socks! LOL.
What to wear when the cops come calling |
I think they must've thought they woke me up When you knock on someone's door at 11:00 at night I guess you have to be ready for anything.
