WEEKEND – LABOR DAY: This weekend I went to Foley – Orange Beach – Gulf Shores and Pensacola.
On Saturday went out on the boat and to Flora – Bama with friends.
On part of the trip the water was rough. Then Josh changed paths and the water was better.
As someone who is normally on Lake Eufaula, this is a welcome change and view. Met some great friends and new experiences.
Had two weekends on a Yamaha Jet boat. Those are neat and nice.
Dylon was in Destin – Ft. Walton area. A great crowd. Rough water and rain all day Friday and Saturday. Went to the islands and a lot of people anchored out.
There was a concert at Crab Island and I have a lot of good comments.
RSN did keep up with activities crime wise. Some assaults, fist fights. Did not notice any shootings or edged weapon assaults. Have some video of shots fired in the Webb area. Need to find out the circumstances for the residents.
Some wrecks with injuries. One dispatched as critical. Unknown the extent of injuries,. But all in all do thinks a relative calm weekend for law enforcement.
Law Enforcement officers were out in force. They kept a heavy hand keeping all in order.
Great job and hope all has an enjoyable holiday weekend.
