This Metal Sky: February 2006
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2006. DO YOU KNOW C.P.R? DO YOU KNOW C.P.R? I told her I did and she just said "He's in the bedroom! EMS arrived and pronounced the man dead. His mother begged and pleaded with them to do anything to help her son. I was glad not to be them at that moment. I did my report and took the required pictures, while waiting for the funeral home to transprt the body. Links to this post. Monday, February 20, 2006. It will if you hit it hard enough! It will if you hit it hard enough! He yells ...

This Metal Sky: Just a bird
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2007/05/just-bird.html
Sunday, May 20, 2007. I'm sitting under a small canopy. On a bench behind my building. I work the second floor, above the comm center and below the court rooms and jail. There's a tall fence a few feet away to keep people from hap-hazardly falling to their doom into the parking lot below. This is our designated smoking area and due to a lack of smokers I usually have this space to myself. I watch the bird and wonder what its purpose is. What is its reason for existence? There again, perhaps the sparrow i...

This Metal Sky: January 2007
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 23, 2007. The Chief called me into his office about a week ago. What have I done? I will have to buy an entire wardrobe as I have virtually no dress clothes suitable for the postion. I spoke with the detective sergeant the other day. He seems to be a sharp guy who knows what's going on. I know the Lt. over the division and he is a very sharp guy with a lot of investigative experience. It's funny. You never know what life will hand you from one minute to the next. Links to this post.

This Metal Sky: April 2007
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2007. 1) My son is growing up. I forget how much he has changed over the years until I look at old pictures of him. 2) In life there are some people who won't like you no matter what you do. 3) Sometimes even though you do all you can it still doesn't feel like it's enough. 4) The unit I was stationed with in the Marines is now fully manned with people I don't know. They have had a 100 percent turn over in personell since I was stationed there. 11) The fact that thirteen years have co...

This Metal Sky: October 2007
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. It's two thirty in the morning. There are three marked cars around the trailer, four patrolmen and a patrol Sergeant. I talk to her thirteen year old brother who says "Yeah , I threw that brick through her window. I did it the other two times too.". Why did you do that? Cause she made me mad. She put my game in her car.". He goes on to tell me that he knows I can't do anything. To him because he's a juvenile. The dim lights from my dashboard. He mirrors my movement leaning close...

This Metal Sky: March 2006
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 07, 2006. The suicide machine churns on. As long as there are people on earth, suicide will be a reality. They told me she did. I went into the house and saw a women in her late fifties standing in the kitchen staring blankly at a wall. I could only see her face as she was very short. "Are you alright? The knife was stuck all the way up to the handle in the center of her chest. "Hey lady." I said. "You need some help.Are you going to let me help you? I followed up on this and talked to her...

Monday, October 30, 2006. The company we keep. Have you ever seen that movie? Her first name is Deanna and she has at least four different last names that I know of. In another life she wanted to be a cop. She even attended the Law Enforcement academy. The same facility I graduated from. She was married and has two children that someone else has raised. Now the only thing she cares about is crack. I tell Deanna I saw her mom a few days ago. In my experience dealing with crack heads, Xanax and crack seem ...

This Metal Sky: Two Weeks
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2007/06/two-weeks.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. In the past two weeks. I've assisted in a murder investigation, a bank robbery and the was the primary investigator on a Felony child abuse case. Mom and her boyfriend decided it would be a good idea to drink a case of beer, eat ten xanax. Each and top it off by smoking some crack. All while they were watching not only her daughter but three other small children. When they got good and high they began to fight which woke up the 16 month. I want to run from here screaming. You're...

This Metal Sky: August 2006
http://thismetalsky.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 22, 2006. Four years in a nutshell. August 2002. Thank God for the voice command feature on my cell phone. I think as I speak the name of the person I want to call into the phones speaker. In the last 9 hours I have managed to go completely blind. All I can see is an ugly grey fog. The line begins to ring and I hear a voice say "Hello". I'm blind lieutenant. I don't know what's wrong but I can't see anything. I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow, I need the day off.". How do you feel?
