Some people are never happy.

I just returned from a glorious week long vacation in Mexico. The resort was between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. It was a gourmet all-inclusive and I don't have one bad word to say about the whole trip. Everything from the plane trip (and believe me, I was worried about changing planes and whether or not my luggage would join me at our destination). But I needn't have worried as everything went as smooth as silk.

Our room was gorgeous, the view was breathtaking, the food was delectable and the staff was outstanding.

Why is it that even when you are in paradise, there is at least one loud-mouthed fool who has to put a damper on things. Our particular loud-mouthed fool was a woman whose child had just gotten married at a resort down the road. According to Mommie Dearest, the other resort was far superior to ours as when she demanded food, they brought it immediately.

Please understand, we were coming up to dinner time and at the resort, you had to dress for dinner. No tank tops, no flip-flops and certainly no swimsuits which were still in the pool.

This woman, in a very loud and obnoxious voice, yelled at one of the staff for a good ten minutes about how the other resort would bring them a pile of food to the pool for them to chow on before they went to dinner. Those of us who were in the vicinity cringed and were hoping someone would toss her a nacho to shut her up.

This rude woman did not ruin my vacation. She didn't even ruin the afternoon. But she did serve as a reminder that you should treat people how you'd like to be treated.

Gracias, Miguel.

On Vacation

Need I say more? A beach. A pool. The Caribbean. A husband I still like. It's all good.

Our taxpayer dollars hard at work?

What a drama unfolds over a police radio. A man and a woman. Let's see what do we know about them?

She's of German decent and grew up going to the Teutonia club. Her sister had an abortion in her 20's. She has a sister in London who lives in a house her parents bought for her where she supposedly has sex parties. She has a brother who is with a woman she really does not like and uses quite an uninspired negative term to describe her.

He is obviously a police officer who uses foul and derogatory language. He thinks nothing of having indecent personal conversations while on the taxpayers' dime.

She wants to have his baby and proclaims what a good role model he is unlike some of the cowboy cops out there.

Other names included in the conversation - "Jimmy", "Christa".

There are people who know who these two are and should not hesitate to let the Police Chief know. If this is a real conversation and not something staged for the fun of posting it on YouTube, then these two need to be identified and dealt with swiftly.

The worst part is - the innocent people whose personal business is now out there for all to hear. I think she'll be lucky if her family ever talks to her again. I believe these two will suffer humiliation when we find out who they are. Or will we? Will the police department and the police board hide behind - "it's a personnel matter and therefore must be dealt with behind closed doors".

My retired police officer grandfather must be rolling over in his grave.
