Jessica,

My daughter came in weeping with pain and carrying her arm cradled in 
her other arm; someone had decided to water the lawns, and the 
sidewalks, and my daughter - riding on a scooter - slipped and, we 
thought, broke her arm.

We took her to the hospital and they did an X-ray and it looks like it's 
just a bruised bone.


It would be nice to claim the management were trying to provide a 
sprinkler for the kids to play in, but that was a month ago - it's cold 
now, it rained heavily two days ago.

And we didn't see a drop of water on the lawn all summer - except for a 
one or two times, when the management needed to wash their BMW - by the 
way. So don't let your employees sell you a bill of goods to the contrary.


Anyhow, when I returned from the hospital, I came outside my apartment 
for a moment, and there was Richard Henson, getting out of a black sedan 
of some sort - I think it was a late-model Mustang. He came up and got 
into my face, accusing me of talking to his boy, and threatening me if I 
ever said "that" again.

I asked him what I was accused of saying to his son - I had spoken to 
the boy, this afternoon, I had seen him in the parking lot and asked 
where his dad was, because we already have too many abandoned children 
wandering around, thanks, and the child doesn't live here in Fortuna any 
more, either.

He kept on repeating his threats as he moved past me and stood in front 
of 4B, the apartment across from mine. I turned and followed him.

Suddenly a weight struck me from behind and I was thrown against the 
wall. My head hit the wall hard enough to knock me semi-conscious. I 
remember someone saying in my ear that this was payback for saying 
whatever I had said to their cousin.

I gathered that I had been attacked from behind - blindsided, by the 
driver, or another passenger, in the black car.

I gathered that it had been planned ahead of time.

I had seen the black car parked in the parking lot before - it is 
associated with someone in Building 5. Now, I was on the ground, seeing 
stars, and they were walking away, and getting into their car.

I staggered to my feet and limped out to see what their license plate 
was, as they left. I limped in and repeated that license plate number, 
the vehicle description, and a terse description of events to the 911 
operator.

Fortuna police arrived maybe ten minutes later. The chief of police was 
on scene. I told them what had happened. They issued an APB for the 
vehicle, and began watching for it, in Rio Dell, where Richard Henson 
now lives.

I then went BACK to the hospital, and got myself looked at. I have a 
twisted foot, and a bad limp. Everything else seems to be all right.

Now, we're all back from the hospital.

Home, sweet home. [/sarcasm]

I hope Richard Henson has a spare passkey to my apartment ... and tries 
to use it.


So, tell me ... did PPM ever get a restraining order against Richard Henson?

Or was that kicked down the road, along with the bedbug issues?

I saw some comments on Craigslist today about PPM - they said that PPM 
lacked focus and follow-up.

They are spot on.


Regards,
