With the poor police response time to crimes in the neighborhood and the outwardly brazen thugery of the street punks plying their trade in our neighborhood, I was thinking, maybe we could pool our money together and buy George Zimmerman a house up here.

Pickup Truck and Garage
Not sure what I saw at 4:40 a.m., there were headlines on in an alley, I thought they were pulling out of a garabe but headlights didn't move, then a pickup (Ford or Chevy) pulled out with the back full of items covered with a canvas(?). I could see the handle of a lawn mower sticking out.

Not sure what I saw at 4:40 a.m., there were headlines on in an alley, I thought they were pulling out of a garabe but headlights didn't move, then a pickup (Ford or Chevy) pulled out with the back full of items covered with a canvas(?). I could see the handle of a lawn mower sticking out.
It's not a junk collector type of truck,
I couldn't tell what color the Pickup was, black, blue or red, but I it was dark in color, it appeared to be a nice looking pickup. The darkness and rain wasn't any help.
The Pickup pulled out of the alley, before heading towards Pulaski, they used their turning signal to turn East toward Pulaski.
That part confused me, if it was a robbery, why use a turning signal? If a garabe was broken into, why obey the rules of the road?
Then again, would someone be moving at that time of the morning?
Another thought, junk collectors don't cover their findings.
I hesitated, but called the police just in case. Not sure what they can do but keep an eye out.
Check your garages in West Elsdon area.

When I was 14 or 15 years old I stole a case of soda out of a garage in my neighborhood. The owner used to leave his garage door open from time to time and he must have been in the soft drink business because he always had dozens and dozens of cases of this off brand soda pop stacked up in his garage, One day, while with the guys, walking through the alley, and being thirsty, I walked into the garage and took a wooden case of 12 quarts of this soda. The owner walked in the garage as I was leaving. He started chasing me. I dropped the case and ran like Rafer Johnson. When I turned out of the alley at 64th & Kostner, I slipped on some gravel and took a hard spill, but got up to run again, but it was too late. The guy got me and pummled me pretty bad. Broken nose, black eyes. the whole nine yards. The moral of this story: I never stole another thing. I hope a Cook County judge reads this.

Wandering Pup
Today about 10:20 a.m. I walked out of the West Lawn Park building. A man entered the park walking his young dog on a leash. Tailing him was a little dog not more than a year old. The female dog was a light tan short hair. She kept wanting to run and play with the other dog on the leash.

Today about 10:20 a.m. I walked out of the West Lawn Park building. A man entered the park walking his young dog on a leash. Tailing him was a little dog not more than a year old. The female dog was a light tan short hair. She kept wanting to run and play with the other dog on the leash.
I thought it was strange the man would have one on a leash and not the other. I asked him if it was his dog. He turned to the pup and said, no. She had followed him. I mentioned he could lead the pup to his home, put her in the backyard and call a shelter to pick her up.
He told me he lived in an apartment with no backyard.
I tried to get the pup to approach me as I poured some bottle water into my palm. The pup wasn't interested she just wanted to play.
I have no experience with dogs and didn't have any food to offer.
I hope someone will walk their dog towards West Lawn Park and pick up this little girl. She's a happy little one. She was lean but no to a point of starvation. She doesn't have a collar.
I wished I had a camera. All I could do is discribe her.
The pup has light tan short hair with a little wavy. She's almost a foot and a half off the ground in height. She' very playful and likes other dogs.
Please keep an eye out for her.
I attached a photo of a similar breed.

I found a cute puppy today.
I've named her Sandy and she might be around 1-2 years old. She has a pink collar on. I found her at 65th and Knox. She looks like a mix part poodle part schnouzer (sp?)
Color is gray and brown. Looks in good condition. I was able to walk her on a lease. Is anybody missing a dog?

Do You Think The Moon Influences Violence and Behavior?
There's research that has shown that people are a bit more "crazy" if you will, around Full Moon. There are more cops on the street, hospitals are full, police departments are also full and there are more murders, violence, accidents, etc. I was noticing this when I was looking through the news. Around March 15, 17, 18, 19, etc. there was a wave of violence. Around full moon, or the days leading to the full moon.Think about it, The moon's...

Around March 15, 17, 18, 19, etc. there was a wave of violence. Around full moon, or the days leading to the full moon.Think about it, The moon's gravitational pull affects enormous, strong oceans and waves.....and our bodies are made of mostly water, 95% if I'm not mistaken? I've always believed the moon does have an effect in our behaviors. Look more into it :) What do u think?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but an AA in psychology isn't going to help much in the current market -- there are folks out there with PhD's earning 30k or less. Of course, there are also PhD's earning a lot more than that, but the ones I know are corporate psychologists and not working in a therapeutic capacity at all. Have you given any thought about what you want to do with your psych degree? To address your more immediate concerns, what work experience do you have so far? That might be more germane to your immediate job search. What kind of work are you looking to do? How far are you willing to commute? Do you have a car or are you relying on public transportation? The answers to those questions will help in offering you some useful suggestions.
It's still a tough economy out there -- the previous administration left one heckuva mess for President Obama to clean up, and he's been doing a great job but we're not out of the woods yet. Still, it's better than it was in 2009. If you can answer the questions I've posed here, perhaps I can offer some useful ideas for your job search. I also wish you good luck.
With an AA in Psychology you can look for positions using people skills. You didn't mention if you're looking for a full-time position or a part-time, in any case, I did see some openings in the neighborhood.
