    I have been busy lately ..

    I haven't been around much lately
    I work 7 nights a week and a number of days also .


    There has been a problem the last few months .
    A late model Honda Accord , very blacked out
    windows , with 4 armed young men in masks
    inside the car .

    They rob customers of their jewelry , watches ,
    and cash . This has been going on for months .
    They are quick to shoot if you don't give
    it up immediately .

    These guys shot a guy 4X at Starlits in Queens
    a few nights back . They let go a barrage in
    front of Sweets in Jamaica , Queens a couple
    months ago .( I was born and raised in that hood .
    It is very dangerous )

    The NYPD doesn't really do police work any more .
    They take reports , send survivors to the hospital
    and dead people to the morgue .

    The average cop is a little fat girl that couldn't
    find a bad guy in Central Booking if he
    raised his hand.

    Now , without Qualified Immunity , cops will
    no longer take Police Action that may result
    in civil liability or worse .

    They will let you die.

    This is where i come in .
    I'm quite well known for what I do .
    By street guys as well as clients .
    I make myself very visible and on point
    in front of establishments .

    The Honda comes and recons my place .
    if I'm there , they go somewhere else .

    Here is a pic of the Honda driving past the
    front of my client's place and a pic moments
    before they let a barrage go in front of Sweets ..

    Hopefully , I will soon buy a house in the
    Smokey Mountains and retire in peace .

    Stay out of harm's way ,
    MERC

    Ah yes Smokey Mountains, another favorite place of mine. We were debating buying there but it's a long stroll from down here. Be safe bud, please.
    Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

            I spoke to 4th this morning and I called
            44 a handful of nights back while I was
            going to a job .

            44 and I are both night crawlers

            It was good to hear from both .

              Good to hear from you Merc. I was wondering what happened to you.
              We have met the enemy and he is us.

                  Ha....it must be something in the water. I'm up 3-4 am sometimes. The older you get the less you sleep. I've seen texts from 44 at weird times of the night.

                    It takes me usually 3 nights to get

                    my 8 hours of sleep…

                    The other night I was working on a project

                    from 0200 until 0600…

                    Can’t sleep, might as well work

                  I usually speak with him when I'm on my
                  way to some job in NYC .

                  I have starting times between 0100 hrs - 0500 hrs

                    Things ain't getting cheaper here in NE GA. My shack's just south of the Blue Ridge Mtns. I live 9 miles east of Currahee, made famous in Band of Brothers. Electricity's cheap, gas is cheap, water isn't. Taxes ain't too bad. Moved here from the south's number 1 shithole Memphis in 2020. Make the move to God's country sooner the better, property values are going up faster than the value of Nancy Pelosi's stock portpolio.

                      I agree with your assessment of contemporary law enforcement. The job is dead. Anybody with the physical capability and mental scruples look elsewhere. Best wishes for your retirement plans.

                          Real Estate and property taxes are probably
                          the highest in the nation.

                          My taxes are about $1200 a month
                          I will look for a place on the Tennessee side or
                          the NC side of the National Park .

                          NC wants to tax my NY pension .
                          Seems a bit greedy .

                          I didn't work in NC .
                          I didn't get paid by NC .

                          It may make me go to Tennessee

                            Don't feel too bad, I paid close to 30K in real estate taxes this year. and have already sent $25K to the IRS in advance so I don't get hit with a penalty at the end of the year. and have already paid about $40K, we have no deductions other than standard deduction, even if we paid for our daughter's Master Degree.
