Bartlett PD Citizens Police Academy Week 3

I can’t believe we’ve already completed 3 weeks of this course. It’s going by so fast and I’m loving every minute of it. Last night was definitely fun. We learned about Radar/Traffic Enforcement, Crisis Intervention Training and then the highly anticipated K-9 training. Having graduated from the Memphis PD Citizens Police Academy in November, I’mContinue reading “Bartlett PD Citizens Police Academy Week 3”

Happy St Patrick’s Day

The celebrations on March 17 first began back in 1631, when the Church created a Feast Day in homage to St. Patrick. Having been the Patron Saint of Ireland, he died around the fifth century, which means that his passing came 12 centuries prior to the modern version of the holiday first being observed. FUNContinue reading “Happy St Patrick’s Day”

Ukraine, Russia, An Emerging Sex Symbol, & The Love of Pets

Y’all, please bear with me while I give some eye-glazing facts before I get to the more superficial stuff. I think it’s necessary to know what’s happening before we drool over our newly emerging hero in all this or cry over the animal lovers with their devotion to their beloved pets we see pictured fleeingContinue reading “Ukraine, Russia, An Emerging Sex Symbol, & The Love of Pets”

Snow, The Grizz and Wrastlin’ Belts, oh my!

Mother Nature reminded us who’s in charge this past Friday night by dousing the Memphis area in a good blanket of snow after teasing us with spring-like weather the four prior days. Who says we don’t know how to kick off “Spring Break”? 🤷‍♀️ I was down on Beale when it began snowing. I hadContinue reading “Snow, The Grizz and Wrastlin’ Belts, oh my!”

Bartlett PD Citizens Police Academy, Week 2

Shew. Y’all. Let me remind everyone real quick that I recently graduated from the Memphis PD Citizens Police Academy, so I thought I was prepared for this course with the Bartlett PD. I was once again thrown into the nether regions of knowledge when Detective Bynum began the class on Criminal Profiling and even allContinue reading “Bartlett PD Citizens Police Academy, Week 2”

Memphis

I’m dedicating this blog to my mama, who lives in Arkansas and had the horrible misfortune of being on the phone with me last night when someone starting shooting what sounded like an AR-15 somewhere near my house. At 9:30 at night. LOUDLY and over and over. I hung up, called the police, and calledContinue reading “Memphis”

Badass Women, Part 2

I got to thinking after I posted about International Women’s Day yesterday that I had more than 6 badass women in my life, and I just want to highlight a few more today. (Some names have been changed to protect the innocent, not so innocent, and well, me.) Brittney. She and I have only everContinue reading “Badass Women, Part 2”

International Women’s Day

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Woman’s Day (NWD) was observed across the United States on February 28. Women continued to celebrate NWD on the last Sunday of February until 1913. (quoted from http://www.internationalwomensday.com. The theme this year is #BreaktheBias. Imagine a gender equal world.A world freeContinue reading “International Women’s Day”
