I managed to muster up something to do the patrol tonight. I was trying to go another route, but declined to use it for focus reasons. As the Memorial Day crowds came alive with music, I managed to walk by unseen (not literally). There was a night tour in which I might've thought I was part of the exhibit (I was spooky enough.) I was just not thrilled they did it in the center of town. I once again tipped my toes to a nearby park, knowing the summer is coming and activity is bound to happen. I noticed a car parked funny with their lights on, but it turned out the driver was just going to run in the house for a short while. Ironically, one side was quieter than another, which should go topsy-turvy. I noticed three young men walking in a group as they passed a parked car along the way, but it turned out the car was for sale at the station. I was going to go the alternate route, but right now I'm not focused. That has got to shape up soon, or I will lose sight while I am deflected by the clouds.

My first encounter came when I saw a dog inside an SUV in the night. Looking at the dog it looked like it was alright. I looked at the license plate number. I called 911, knowing that knocking a window would make the situation worse. Fortunately, as I called, the owners came as I heard a car alarm start (don't worry. I didn't touch the car. It was a key trigger.) I hung up & told them my concern. They said they were out for a few moments. As I felt fortunate for their sakes that I didn't fully reach the call, I felt that they were lucky it was a cool day in May & not a hot day in July. Later, I noticed a car parked on the sidewalk. I thought that the car was in need of repairs. But it turns out the person had to move the car quickly. As seen, myself in situations that were handled well. I think longer patrols would provide better results. In time, I know I can get to top notch.

I started my patrol late. I noticed a man with the blinkers on parked on the side of a building. I asked if everything was okay. He was, he was loading for the night. As I walked past the water, I noticed a couple walking out of a tavern. I also noticed a guy in a hoodie pass me by. He also walked past the couple. In many ways, it could've been a prevention of a crime. No time, to loolygag, time to move on. I walked a little bit farther farther a while. I managed to work with the cane, so it wouldn't appear as a threat. I started stopping and asking if someone is alright, not the negative with are you in trouble. As I went back more ideas came into me, on how I can make more of my patrols. A very good patrol!

As I walked, I noticed a couple of men talking. As I turned out they had a large, friendly husky which made them safe. As well, I passed some people on the outside of a Mexican restaurant, with one of them drunk. I took a look, to make myself aware upon return. When I did, I noticed a neon-garbed man looking like a Pauly Shore fan from MTV was drunk with two men smoking cigarettes, and a woman, The woman was close to the neon man and there was no threat, just a guy acting as if he was macho. I walked down the street. I was going to extend it, but inside I felt I had to make it short. So I walked as far as the park. Along, the way, I noticed a car in the nearly abandon for the time industrial park with lights on. It was safe since it was at the door, but I looked to see if there was anyone else waiting and there wasn't. So I walked on. My patrol techniques are improving. For a shortened patrol, I improved by leaps & bounds.

I started my patrol with a learning experience. Normally, for the last few, I walked in a quick motion without stopping. As I heard a noise, I managed to stop, think, access. Stopping, nuff' said; thinking & accessing, listening to the situation to see if it warrants my attention. I heard a noise. I stopped to see if help is needed. But the car passed and it was silent. No need for work, even thou the technique might need a bit of tightening. I did a different route. Once again I heard a noise, I stopped. But I heard kids laughing and hanging out. No danger problem, no need to work. I walked on the opposite side of the street, with few people around. It felt like the eyes of a hawk. As I passed kids doing tricks on their bike, possibly the only time to do so in the area this time of year. I noticed a dead end on my route. I thought to stop the patrol, but I remembered the question on how many times to defeat an opponent. So I walked another route. I was going to continue, but I noticed nature calls. I am starting to think about an hour fasting before patrols. As I passed a store, I looked at a window as a car was running at the door. I noticed the cashier calm as I stop on the other side of street. A calm cashier, no hints of danger. It was learning patrol that leapt by bounds, even thou I wished it was longer.
I thought of was Hero Man said about uniforms not looking suspicious, like a hoodie and sunglasses. But I remembered if it wasn't for my sunglasses, I would be more suspicious. So I'm proud of my uniform, even in my uniqueness.

Managed to do a patrol for the first time in the warmer weather. Wore a lighter hoodie, with the hood down. I tried some alternative routes. With all the concern, & second looks, it turned out better than I thought. As I walked by a park, I heard some noise. Turned out to be laughter and having fun. Might be a future checkout thou. As I walked by I notice a man hanging with a man in the car. Too soon and premature to jump to any conclusions. They were gone by the time I returned. I also saw a car engine running in a pizzeria. Turned out to be nothing., I passed an event at the Hall. Fortunately no problems. I managed to make the most of my patrol. As it turned out, it turned into a great patrol.
