The reality of stupidity

Paul and I drove 2 HOURS to take 2 of our 4 dogs to a dog park in Jacksonville, FL. The reason we only took 2 dogs is because my "dogs" (aka small furry children...okay, only 1 has fur, but whatever) do not enjoy the dog park. Our trips to the dog park basically consist of Beauty trying to escape the entire time (which is her sitting by the entrance, looking pitiful, and begging people to free her) or sitting next to me on the bench and Beast obliviously walking alone sniffing trees and grass with zero interaction with other dogs.

So, we took Sasha and Jojo who LOVE the dog park. They ran, wrestled, barked, and swam with joy. And then conked out completely for the entire ride home. Thank god because Sasha's breath could kill you when she gets too close.

We decide to go eat at Outback for dinner. Yummy! Except we were slightly derailed on the way to our call ahead seating time by 2 people FIGHTING in the middle of Northside Dr. And by 2 people I mean a man and a woman punching each other. So I tell Paul to call 911 as I am driving and he does and then he tells me to turn around.

We get back and he's on the phone with 911 and I pull over and there's another car also parked. As we get out of the car this guy is screaming "Get back in the car" except with a more urban feel to his speech. What does Paul do? He hands me the phone and walks across the road.

Now I'm on the phone with 911 like an eye witness reporter giving her the play by play. The other car was apparently the girl's friend because the girl gets in and they start to drive away...well, they start to slowly drive next to the guy who is walking down the road screaming at Paul. Oh, and Paul...is screaming back. Nice!

The guy then gets in the car with the 2 girls. (FYI if you are stupid enough to let this guy get in the car with you after you fighting on the side of the road then you deserve to get your ass beat by him when you get home)

So, what do we do? We follow them of course. All the way to Walmart on Inner Perimiter and me on the phone the ENTIRE time giving 911 the 411. We believe they drove to Walmart to determine if we were following them because they parked sideways near the Goodwill trailer and all of them got out of the car and looked around at which point the police came roaring up (which actually was pretty funny).

3 police cars show up and LET THE PEOPLE GO. Which then causes Paul to get into a heated discussion with the officers which causes the one officer to forcefully give us his name and storm off into his squad car which causes me to shake my head in frustration and hunger.

When Paul is finally done "voicing" his opinion on why the police suck to the police officers we get to Outback where we are pitied and still give our 7:15 call ahead time despite not arriving till 7:30pm and we ended up being sat around 8pm.

You will all be proud to know that I refrained from having a drink even though I DESPERATELY wanted one, but I did chow down on some cheese fries (we only shared a half order though). And I did not eat my entire meal.

Driving back we tried to theorize why this couple was in the middle of the road WITH NO CAR to be seen (near McKey Planation and Crestwood). We decided they were planning or carrying out a home invasion and for some reason got into a fight about it. Maybe the girl wanted a bigger cut or something or changed her mind. Or maybe he forgot his gun. I suppose we shall never know.
