No Requests
October 29, 2005 – 10:51 am | by TreyGeorge from Sleepless in Midland asked the obvious question. In my previous post, I mentioned a now-convicted residential burglar who had blasted me with a bit of honesty about Snickers.
George wrote: “Let us know if this guy asks you to bend some rule for him and then gets angry when you don’t.”
Never happened, believe it or not. Never made a sound, never asked for a favor.
In fact, after finishing his time in my jail and before moving on to another county jail for yet another residential burglary charge, he let me know there were a few minor items of contraband in his cellblock.
Can’t figure out quite why, but I’ll take it.
For a guy who busted into houses, took whatever he could find, he was brutally honest about really small stuff. Thing is, I don’t know why. Can’t figure out why he’d suddenly be honest. It freaked me out then and it freaks me out now.
In the end, I guess, it doesn’t really matter. He’s gone, I’m still there and I’ve got a ton of new burlgars to deal with.
I just have to make sure I count my Snickers bars better.

Well, there you have it. I was wrong.
And maybe it’s safer to be proven wrong when someone does right than the opposite.
In the future I’ll try patience instead of spouting off.

George, you were wrong THIS ONE TIME ONLY. Normally, that would be exactly the deal. I’ll scratch you…you scratch me, etc. Just not this time. Who knows why? But for the next two weeks, I won’t have to sweat it. Had a minor surgery yesterday and I’ll be off for two weeks. Got a real purty 12″ slice from near my Adam’s Apple to below my right ear and then to the top of said ear. Franken-Trey, my wife calls me. Real supportive!
