Well another beautiful day here in Az. My wife is trying to get Tuesday and Wednsday off so we could finish off our Christmas shopping. Such fun, having an Hispanic family, everyone gets everyone else in the family presents and you are pressured to equal the amount of gifts bought.

So Tuesday we are going up to Phoenix to have "Lowjack" installed in our Tahoe. Wednsday we are heading down to Tucson to do a little shopping and to have lunch at this awesome little place called "Poco Coso Cafe" where the food is just outstanding-found out about this place from Racheal Ray- And do a little bit of downtime.

Funny thing happened to me while I was writing this journal, I was at work and a call of an officer needs assitance rolled over the radio. I raced to where the incident was and saw my fellow officer fighting with a cuffed inmate. Well being the first to arrive for assistance, I grabbed the inmates arm and put him in an straight arm bar and the officer who the inmate was fighting with- the officers name is Gutierrez-grabbed a hand full of hair and we both took the inmate down and he landed HARD face first. After we cuffed him from behind, the inmate tried to get up and I told him to stay seated and he kicked me on the left side of my jaw- I was kneeling- well I put his legs so far up his back that he could've scratched his head with them.

Such fun, it is what I live for.

Laters all. Henshin a go-go baby.
