Hi y'all-<br>
<br>
I'm back. Well hot-damn!, we gots video. One-two-three-POUNCE!;-)<br>
<br>
Most importantly: anyone heard from James? <br>
<br>
Yeah I will come on down just as soon as I eat breakfast (at this
hour!) and make a couple of phone calls. Who's around right now?
Anyone heard from James? <br>
<br>
I get the distinct impression that it would be really really helpful
if any of a number of people I think of as good friends here (you
know who you are;-) would be around when I have to watch that video
clip, by way of (this is going to sound dumb but what the hey)
holding my hands or something. And yes I'd also like to keep a copy
of it on my local machine. I'm not going to watch it until then.<br>
<br>
James and I were assuming that Robbie the Robber would have ditched
those clothes, and thinking further about it, those clothes may have
been a deliberate disguise or distraction, to get people looking for
the clothes rather than the robber by face and build. <br>
<br>
Description from memory: dark-complexion black male approx. 6' tall
but crouched while robbing us, thin build, yellow-orange open shirt
over white t-shirt, I did not notice his pants but James said yellow
pants, short dark hair possibly receding in front, age anywhere
18-30, no obvious tattoos or other marks. Gun was not a revolver
and had a partially semicircular profile across the top of the
barrel, flat at the sides of the barrel, possible diagonal ridges
along the rear of the barrel toward handgrip, and the opening at the
end of barrel appeared about the size of a 10-cent piece (though we
all know that guns look bigger when they're pointed at you). <br>
<br>
BTW the reason the police use a suspect-description system that
goes: color, gender, height, weight, clothes top, clothes bottom,
age, hair, tattoos/marks, is because it starts from the things you
can see from the furthest distance away that can't change, and then
goes to the things that you have to be closer to see clearly, then
clothes which can change, and lastly tattoos etc. that you can only
see clearly from close-up. <br>
<br>
In retrospect it occurs to me: I didn't see much of the sides of his
face, from which I can infer he was wearing a hoodie, which would
have been what I recalled as the "open shirt." <br>
<br>
OK, so I'll watch the video when I come in, and find out how that
does or doesn't match with the video. <br>
<br>
What might have saved my life: Saying "dude, I can't even see
you." As in, without glasses on, and that meaning was probably
clear. As in, can't see you clearly enough to identify you. Which
was of course BS, but in any case we've got the video. <br>
<br>
G. status update: Got as much sleep as possible, which is about
5-1/2 hours' worth (typical for a work night, blech). Learned
something interesting about how my brain processes this stuff
(details on request or later), and my resting pulse is still 90 - 92
(is normally in the low 70s, wondering about going to the hospital
to see if there's a pill for that). <br>
<br>
Here's a science paper I read last night, if anyone's interested in
the kind of stuff I do to relax after a long work day or a night of
having a gun stuck in my face: <br>

<br>
More later, gotta eat breakfast. If you already have my phone
number feel free to call me, but please no posting my phone number
to the list. <br>
<br>
Hey, how'bout a Kickstarter to get T-shirts printed with this:
"Visited the Robbery Capitol of America and was robbed, but at least
I got this T-shirt." Print a few hundred, they'd probably sell. <br>

James and I got robbed at gunpoint, right outside the
side entrance, at about 2:45AM on Saturday 01 June.
Nothing like thinking that you & a friend are about
to die, to screw up an otherwise great night. <br>
<br>
No injuries, just terror. The guy wanted our
cellphones. Lucky us, I don't have one and James had
left his upstairs. He got our wallets. It could have
been worse, he could have killed both of us.<br>
<br>
OK, time for the kick-myself-in-the-arse maneuver, for
not having gone inside the moment we saw an unknown guy
walking down the street toward us late at night. I
should know better, hell I _do_ know better, but my
safety-sense was down just long enough for the robber to
get close enough to pull the gun, and the rest as they
say, isn't history, just another statistic that got
personal.<br>
<br>
QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM OUR
BUILDING AND THE ONE NEXTDOOR?<br>
<br>
Peace, love, and safety y'all-<br>
