Tiresome Thursday!!

WOW!! Was Thursday a day or what???!! Now, normally we go in for work at 11 am. HOWEVER, on Thursday we got went in at 8:00!! We had such a BUSY day!! Our first visit was to the Blue C.R.U.S.H. weekly meeting. There we learned about the latest crimes in our area. They biggest thing was the copper thefts. It is AMAZING how expensive it is to repair damages when idiots steal copper. It was stunning to hear of how many teenagers that are committing crimes. Can you believe that teenagers outnumbered adults? OMG!! And I REFUSE to not inform you of the food they had at the meeting. MAN!! I LOVE food!! They had all kinds of donuts, salads, chicken bites,orange juice, grape juice, water, and coffee. That wasn't the best part of the day though. When we left there, we went to the University of Memphis for a meeting with Memphis Heritage's June West. She was very enthused about telling us about the history of Memphis. She showed us a lot of historic buildings that were torn down and rebuilt, some that were flat out demolished, and some that are yet and still standing. Now that I know how some buildings downtown used to look, I'll look at them differently. It seems like the traditional buildings looked better that the more modern architecture. It doesn't seem like a lot, but BOY was it a tiring DAY!!!
