My friend Susan and I go for walks in the morning on Mon/Wed/Fri. There are many amusing things that happen and can be found. Thankfully Susan has a camera at the ready to capture some of these amusing things such as a wonderfully misspelled note from one neighbor to the other as shown below:
Now we usually walk around our quaint little Valley Village neighborhood full of adorable one story homes with decorate shrubbery. However, this morning we were walking our current favorite street and passed by a car. I noticed something in the driver's seat.
It was a guy, hunched over.
At first I thought I finally get to experience a Law & Order opening episode moment where I find a dead body. I mean, let's be honest with all the outdoor activities I do, it's bound to happen sooner or later. Especially on a hike. But alas, after staring for a second I realized he was still breathing. Susan refused to take a picture of it, ignoring my rationalization to document the scene. Damn her.
We then discussed exactly WHY this man would be in such a situation. Here is our list.
1. Got in a fight with the Misses/Girlfriend and she kicked him out.
2. Epileptic
3. Went to go to work early and fell sleep instead. Now he's late.
4. Too lazy to exit the car after getting home late, perhaps out with a mistress/drinking, parked the and wanted to finish listening to a song before going inside (i.e. - Bon Jovi "Living On A Prayer").
5. A sub-par police officer who fell sleep on his stakeout.
Needless to say we will never know. But my finely tuned, TV procedural detective skills tell me something is a foot since he was still in a T-shirt and based on the way he slouched forward, foul play could be involved. Because if you knew you were going to sleep in your car, you'd probs lower the seat and stretch out. Perhaps someone was murdered and he's being framed. Got cold cocked and left in the car, probs with his prints all over the murder weapon.
Either way, as Susan stated, anytime you are sleeping in your car, it's not great.
