I was hoping to find out what ever happened with that car chase on Sunday. I about got ran off the road by a few police cars on Sunday around 7pm at the intersection of Corral Hollow and 11th, they were racing North on Corral Hollow with their sirens/lights on I pulled into the Savemart gas station and while getting gas, they came right back down Corral Hollow chasing an old Buick with big ole’ rims on it. About 3-5 minutes later, they came screaming back up Corral Hollow heading north again, still following the guy.

I’m surprised that car chase didn’t get reported in the blotter…

...
written by Annie Snyder , August 05, 2008
Jazbone, I was suprised, too! I live down toward the end of West Lowell and they came down here. The perps must not have known Tracy very well because they headed all the way down to the yellow apartments. If you don't turn onto Henley/Joe Pombo Parkway then you are stuck. The police blocked the street so they could not get away. It was over pretty soon after they came down this way. I don't know what it was about. I am so curious!!!

ftud, I had to get involved with that one! I miss all the action in Tracy! I don't think we would call about naked neighbors. We would probably bring friends to peek. I know, I am demented.

See, I posed as isthistrue? It got more kind response from you. Everything I posted as isthistrue? is not attacking you either. It spreads out kindness. Now that thisistrue? is no longer, but remember there are people with kindness out there and I am using this character after the kind person I took care of and his spirit is indominable.We could learn from him?

God bless you, spread your kind words, under your real name or ficitonal name. Isthistrue? is the way the patient would have spoken, he was a retired minister. He passed away two months after his massive stroke. Prior to that he had mini strokes and he is so strong in his spirit. His family ralied around him to the very end. Is that what everyone wants, also, at their end?

Bless the patient who inspired me so to spread word of kindess on his part before his passing.

Thank you.

You feel I answered differently to isthistrue but I didn't. I kept an even keel. Explanation not good enough. Maybe an apology is. At least I didn't lie to you.

Yes, I guess that is what you could call it, a "moniker".

As with many others on the bloggers, maybe even you? Who knows?
I am glad to be his voice, though. Not trying to justify what I did, just glad to be part of senior awareness. Too many people don't really look at them today, looking over their needs and disabilities. I based my character isthistrue? on the patient mentioned and others in similar situation.

Even amy is not my real name. Like yours is not your real name and not going to push you for it,and don't expect anyone do to that to me either.... Only one person knows my real name and that is the web designer of the sports park. He will respect my privacy since I had every concern to be protective of my identity when in Tracy.

I am sure more than one people other than those who used their real names used many monikers? It is the dangerous monikers that I would be concerned about,.... as long as it brings awareness and requests as seniors would have asked... I don't think that is so bad. If I disappointed anyone, for that I am sorry.

3:52 p.m.: Police arrested a man after a woman reported he was drunk and beat her on the 1200 block of Johnson Court.

I need to get my eyes checked. Originally, I thought this read "he was drunk and beat her with his Johnson"!

My opinion still stand on your being too harsh, sorry. No difference there. You need to "temper" your words without being so much of being "in your face" and so angry as Annie Snyder tried to explain kindly to you.

Before you jump, not Annie Snyder!

My opinion of your harsh comments still stands, too harsh.

7 p.m.: A caller on the 2300 block of South MacArthur Drive reported that the caller’s 50-year-old landlord put on gloves and challenged the caller to a fight. The caller said the landlord “is not all there,” and noted he challenged the caller’s sister to a fight the previous day.

50 year old huh? Why can't this happen to me? I would have asked if I could get a free month's rent if I win and then I would've pulled Grandpa's punk card! smilies/grin.gif

8:43 p.m.: A caller reported someone stole a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup from the 2600 block of Redbridge Road. It turned out the car was towed.

How does this logic work? "I'm 6 months behind on my truck payment and it's missing?.....must have been stolen? People aren't too bright sometimes.

6:33 p.m.: A caller on the 1000 block of Lourence Drive reported that a man and woman were “making out” on a nearby lawn and wanted police to “move them along.” The dispatcher told the caller no officer would show up.

The caller should have turned the table on these exhibitionists. Flash them and ask if you could join in and see how long they hang around!

This is profiling! It appears they were pulling over every car driving down that particular sidewalk.

Justin281gt,

I hate Costco. Go in to buy 2-3 items and leave with a full cart. One good thing about Costco are the Costco hotdogs w/drink + a refill. $1.50...best deal around. Of course when I'm with my wife she "limits" my intake of those by asking me to buy a strawberry sundae instead. smilies/cheesy.gif

I no longer believe anything you say because you are a poser amy or who ever you are. Don't talk down to me because you lied right to me and there is nothing more then I hate is a liar. And you admitted it. How dumb is that?

I LOVE Costco!!!!!! I was so happy when they came to Tracy. I only live about a mile and a half away. It it my regular grocery store. My 12 year old showed me a short cut down Byron Rd. It won't work in the winter because it will be muddy. If all I need is one thing, and I walk, I don't buy too much. See? Excersize my body and Costco limits.
ftud....c'mon...do you really hate Costco, or do you hate how you react to Costco? I, too, am guilty of the Costco impulse purchases, but I place the blame where it belongs. Own your impulsivity. Admitting it is the first step.
Having teens, I find the bulk purchases necessary. I love to grocery shop! I grew up pretty poor. I overcompensate now with a full pantry and two full refrigerators. Plus, that is my only retail therapy outlet. I don't like clothes shopping. I hate the mall! I am not into all the girly stuff that women spend money on. I am into FOOD!!! My whole life and thinking is centered around food in one form or another. The getting and using, and finding ways and means to get more. I peruse the adds and compare. I love that Safeway and Savemart are right across the street from each other so I can leave one if I am not satisfied with the price and hop on over to the other. Can you tell I am into it?

Wrong place of employment to "play dead", they don't serve fried road kill possums there! KFC for Kentucy Fried Chicken, not Kentucky's Fried Coons! PS. one escaped recently?

I really like their "roasted chicken" and would purchase two at a time! And the easy availability to provide veggie "snacks" for the staff.
Good eating at pleasing prices! Loving their samples, too! Without going overboard on tempting calories, yum!

Good for Costco! Good for everyone's wallets!

Annie Snyder,

Nah, I don't hate Costco. I was only complaining that when you're going to buy 3-4 items totalling maybe $30 you wind up exiting the store with a full cart totalling over $200. smilies/wink.gif

amy,

Yep, their roasted chickens are the best, aren't they? We get one about every-other-time we're there along with their dinner rolls and mixed veggie platter. I'm getting hungry already. smilies/cheesy.gif

While we're on the subject of Costco, my cousing in Redding turned me on to Kirkland's "VITA-RAIN". Have you guys tried that? No calories, sodium, sugar, etc just VITAMINS! I asked my doctor about this and he told me he drinks it too. He said the Gatorade, Propel, etc all have calories and absolutely no nutritional value. He said if you have children the Vita Rain is the way to go. We don't have children living with us but when our grandkids come over they automatically go for the gargage and get something to drink from the fridge. At least with the Vita Rain I don't have to worry about them getting all sugar or caffeined up. smilies/cheesy.gif

Livermore man arrested Tracy arson case (1:04 p.m.)

TRACY – A 22-year-old man was arrested Tuesday at his Livermore home for allegedly setting a fire that destroyed his ex-girlfriend's sport utility vehicle and damaged a nearby building and fence.

Lawrence Thompson was going through a bad breakup with his girlfriend, said Tracy city spokesman Matt Robinson, when the two argued on June 28 at an address in the 300 block of West Mount Oso Avenue in Tracy. During the argument, Thompson demanded from the woman the return of a cellular phone and $200, said Robinson. Thompson allegedly threatened to destroy her property if she did not hand over the phone and money.

Thompson then allegedly set fire to the woman's 1998 Ford Explorer, which spread to a nearby fence and building, said Robinson. The fire destroyed the vehicle and caused more than $11,500 in damage.

Afterward, Thompson sent the woman e-mails, text messages and flowers in an effort to apologize for destroying the vehicle.

"Apparently, it didn't work," Robinson said of Thompson's efforts to make amends.

Robinson said police in Tracy and Livermore since late June have been coordinating in an effort to find and arrest Thompson, who was booked into San Joaquin County Jail on Tuesday on suspicion of arson. He is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
