Today in Alamo Heights.....

On my way to Starbucks this morning, I attempted to navigate around construction zones, watch for pedestrians, and even sing along to a Ke$ha song. With only Starbucks two blocks away and in sight I flipped on my left blinker and waited in traffic. There in the intersection I was attempting to turn at was a horrific scene. One lone police officer, several on-lookers (including children) and a very confused skunk. Yes, SKUNK!!! I named him "Flower" in the few brief minutes I viewed the scene. Why Flower chose a busy intersection during day light is beyond rational thinking. Though it was not the dazed and confused Flower that had me so perplexed. It was the plethora of people trying to educate their children on the ways of wildlife.
I sat there blinker on, shoulders back, and eyes fixed on Flower. Vehicles unaware of the situation slamming on brakes trying to avoid hitting this small foul creature. Anyone who has ever ran over a skunk knows it takes weeks to get rid of the odor.
To the right side of the street named Broadway is a man standing on the sidewalk attempting to cross the street. To my left in front of Starbucks, were mothers standing with their children pointing in the Direction of Flower. and in front of me was a city bus, an Alamo Heights cop, and various vehicles slowing down and stopping for mother nature. As boredom set in, i began attaching a dialog to the characters involved.
The Scene:

Police officer on his cool shoulder radio. An lady in a pink Tank top wearing leg warmers, a tool belt, and short shorts. A Mechanic attempting to cross the street while avoiding the skunk. A mother with her children. And a gay guy in Starbucks.

Dialog:

Police Officer: "Yeah, that's right...we have a code 5133"...."yes you heard right, yes...a skunk!"...well of course i took a photo an posted it on my facebook".

Mechanic: "damn dude, this is not how i thought i would spend my day"....I mean seriously holmes....I'm just trying to cross the road"...."whoa, not going that way".

Lady in pink: "OMG!!!! *rushes over to aid officer*. "I know exactly what to do, seen it on TV once". ..."Do not try this at home people, I have it under control"!!!

Mother: " you see kids, there is wildlife outside the zoo and NO we can not take it home".

Mother 2: "Fitzgerald (kids here have weird names) let mother grab her coffee and we can go see it. But don't get dirty I just had you and the BMW washed"

Gay Guy: "If i was wearing my spandex I can scare him back into the forest".

Flower: "Oh gosh, oh gosh, why are you all just standing around?....help me find my contact lens".


Only in Alamo Heights does such shit take place:)
