What I'm Reading This Week #25

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone had a better week than we did.  To top off the stuff I already mentioned this past week, the Mr and I witnessed some maniac fly around the corner in our neighborhood (there aren't sidewalks.)  He screamed at the woman he was tailing and out of instinct, the Mr grabbed his phone to try to get a pic of the license plate because we weren't sure how close he came to hitting the man and his two dogs by the turn and thought he was a delivery driver.  Didn't matter, he didn't get the pic anyway.  (If I'd seen him grabbing at the phone I would've told him not to but he was too quick for me.)  The man told us the guy was a nutcase and carried a baseball bat in his car and lived in the back.  This made our stomachs sink.  

As we walked about a half mile down, out of nowhere he flew up behind us with his cell phone on us screaming at the Mr and when we tried to leave, he pulled his car in front of us blocking our path, got out of the car and got in the Mr's face.  Well, tried to because I stood between them as he kept screaming asking his name, which he did not give him.  He said he would 'find out soon enough' and sped away.  We ducked out of the street in case he came back and of course when we usually have a ton of walkers, there were NONE.  No witnesses.  We called the police and our property manager, neither cared.  

We can't file a report because that would give him our names and address which is the last thing we want.  We have been sick with adrenaline, anxiety and I'm just plain terrified.  We will never walk in the neighborhood again.  It was already heading that way anyway because cars just weren't getting over anymore and it felt more and more unsafe with that obviously being the topper.  I have no idea what we can do to protect ourselves and the Mr is a yellow belt but these days, the criminals seem to have more rights than the victims.  So yeah, I'm hoping for some weight loss because more than a few meals have been missed due to extreme PTSD on my part constantly relieving it day and night.  We were able to get the license plate and I passed it on to a friend that if anything happened to us, he would be questioned.  (Again, not filing a report to give him access to our address so he can then begin stalking us.)  So if there are any multi-week absences without any explanation after a month, you might not hear from us again.  I know that sounds extreme but 24 hours later, I'm still shaking as I type.

Anyhoo...
