Constable On Patrol —...

He remembers his first gunfight and his panic attack and the shotgun malfunctioning. The slow motion agony of it. He was a newbie big city cop. On the street in a black-and-white, six weeks, a green rookie. His sergeant riding with him. Training Day. They got the “Officer Down!” call and the sergeant said nothing, hit the lights and cut through the streets at pursuit speed. Riding...

Intellectual passions have no calories. Or do they? Your family and your friends ask, “What in the world are you going to do for income? Do you want to end up living in a box in an alley?” You love to talk, discuss, debate. You’re addicted to thinking. Not the accumulation of data, but thinking itself. Your world is as eclectic as the music you love, no limits, infinite variety....
