GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY AT 7TH AND MONTANA ...

                             

It was out with the old and in with the new at 7th and Montana this week as word spread that "Pokey," the Octogenarian Security Guard who could barely hoist a cup of coffee let alone a firearm, has been replaced with a Zealous Newcomer.  While Pokey protected the crowd at Starbucks from a distance -- by circling the block endlessly in his "Select Patrol" truck -- his replacement seems to take a much more hands-on approach.  I don't know what makes me more nervous, an Octogenarian-with-a-Gun or a Power Hungry Rent-a-Cop with what looks like an Itchy Trigger Finger ...!

It could be worse. You could have got a power hungry octogenarian with a gun and an itchy trigger finger.

What is he supposed to be guarding? Certainly not Starbucks. Really, who hired him and to guard what? Does he really carry a gun? --Cin
