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.
