Theft at 4S Ranch Community Park

 

San Diego Soccer Club was unfortunately the victim of a theft on Friday afternoon in broad daylight.  Some unscrupulous thieves entered their tent at 4S Ranch Community Park as they prepared for Crusader's Soccer Tournament and stole three flat screen television sets. If you saw anything suspicious please contact San Diego Sheriff's Department or call Crime-Stoppers.  You can remain anonymous. 

   

On a Sad Note...  

Unfortunately, early Tuesday afternoon, "Lamb Chop" was struck and killed when he ran out into the path of a trash truck in front of the business.  Something is especially sad about a grown man overwhelmed with the loss of his companion as he sat for many hours on the curb with the remains of his dog in a trash bag.  All Scott would say is, "He was all I had".

Please don't tell Scott, but we are trying to help him out.  We are taking up a collection of donations at our Community Hub to help him buy a new dog in the future. If you want to help Scott out, anything is appreciated. Just stop by and sign the sympathy card and kick in a little cash so we can help him try and replace his little dog.   

NEW BUYER:  We have a non contingent buyer looking for a 4S Ranch or Santa Fe Valley home up to 1.2 million.   A view home or a large lot with a pool and jacuzzi is preferred.   They can do a fast escrow or they are willing to wait for a short sale if necessary.

Life Appetizers' Class Schedule 

If you must fight, overwhelm your opponent's violent behavior quickly and stop. You never want the battle between good and evil to cross over the line to personal.  When you degrade or impact someone's personal pride they will never forget it. They will then be much more likely to want to try and kill you or another police officer. The SDPD officers in the past are just like the current ones.  They are incredibly brave, professional and they risk their lives to keep us safe.  GST remains as one of the premier units on San Diego Police Department. 

I present this subject matter on profanity as a lead in to discuss what happened Tuesday night at our home in 4S Ranch.  Our eight year old son Ryan, who just lost his second upper front tooth has accused me of using profanity.  This time at the kitchen table with our other two sons, Troy, and Raymond within easy earshot. I will leave it to you, the reader to decide if it was profanity or just a unique communication, "style".

One of my father's favorite sayings when he dealt with someone who was exceptionally rude or just a plain mean person was to call him a, "Horse's ass"!  Last Tuesday night I was talking about an individual who would have easily fit into my dad's criteria.  I was thinking what my dad would have said when I caught myself and stopped. I did not finish the sentence. Theresa stared at me wondering why I had stopped talking. The silence in our kitchen just hung in the air. She probably thought I had a, "senior moment".

I lowered my voice so the kids in the family room would not hear and I whispered, he was a, "Adam, Sam, Sam". Theresa has heard me speak phonetically before and picked up on it quickly as, "ASS".  Of course our elephant eared, eight year old son who hears absolutely everything and never forgets anything immediately picked up on what I said.  

Ryan then began blurting out like a persistent parrot, who is bored in his cage, "Adam Sam Sam". "Adam Sam Sam".  Theresa and I looked at each other and started to laugh as I thought, "oh shit". I mean, "oh my gosh". Of course, Ryan now had all our boys attention as he asked inquisitively, "Dad, what's an Adam Sam Sam"?

Theresa just shook her head with a little smile as I now knew I had to deal with it.  In jury trials there is a term called, "ringing the bell".  It is when jurors hear something they should not have legally heard. Everyone knows once a bell is rung you cannot, "un-ring" it.  Even Perry Mason or Bumper Morgan could not get me out of this one.  I humbly and apologetically told all our boys I was saying, "ASS".  Let the hooting and hollering begin. For the next two hours there were more, "Adam Sam Sams" flying around our home then a dirt corral in Ramona.

At the end of the evening as we tucked Ryan into his bed and our other sons laid nearby, I turned off the light. I knew they were all smiling. As I began to shut their bedroom door and the narrowing sliver of light from the hallway sliced into their room, Ryan of course had to say in a way only a child missing both of his upper front teeth can say, "Adam, Sam Sam, you taught me that dad".  Yes, I did Ryan.  I taught you that.  I thought for a moment how funny our father would have found this conversation. I just wish there was some way I could tell my dad about his legacy and how darn funny today was with his grandchildren.

Have a great week.
