Police get 6 lb., 9 oz. break from bad guys STOCKTON - In a city where the police force is chronically understaffed and the jail is regularly overcrowded, delivering a baby is a rare pleasure for a lawman. "It ranks up there as one of the best things you ever do," said Stockton police Sgt. Jay Wagner, who along with Officer Mitchell Tiner helped deliver a baby boy in downtown Stockton early Saturday morning. "Most of our contacts are negative; this was positive." Already three days overdue, expectant mother Roxanne McKay, 22, thought she was preparing for a long, difficult labor when she began suffering intense pains around 7:30 a.m. After showering and getting dressed, she and her boyfriend jumped in the car and headed for the hospital from their residence on Charter Way. They had made it as far as the police station when the baby started to come. McKay told her boyfriend to pull into the parking lot on Market Street and get help from police. ...

Did something new this weekend. Well, kinda new. A few years ago, my cousin, an amateur tarot reader (pronounced ter-oh [accent on the oh]), attempted to read my cards. Uuuhhh, no. Bless her heart. This weekend they were done for real. There is this amazing woman in our presence. Her name...to remain anonymous, per her request. She did a four card layout; foundation, past, present and future. She told me I was not talk about the stuff that went on during the twenty minute read. But I can tell the cards. I have been left with a few questions, but that is typical. Overall, what an amazing experience. And anyone who thinks its a crock of poo needs to let down that guard just for a split second and see what may transpire. I won't tell you my question, that would be revealing a bit too much about me. But I can tell that my cards spelled the cold hard facts of what you cannot change. It is what it is. I am who I am. But it appears that the feeling of content, ...903 days ago
Ice cream man 1, would-be robbers 0 By The Record June 12, 2007 6:00 AM STOCKTON — An ice cream vendor being robbed at gunpoint Sunday afternoon foiled his teenage attackers with a weapon of his own — a machete. According to the Stockton Police Department, the unidentified man was pushing an ice cream cart at 2:20 p.m. at Ponce De Leon Avenue and Antonio Way when the two teens approached. One lifted his shirt and displayed a black handgun, while the other demanded cash. The vendor responded by pulling out a machete, police said. The suspects ran away, although one, a 15-year-old boy, was later identified and arrested on robbery charges. The other suspect, described as a black male between 14 and 17, 5 feet 7 inches and 135 to 145 pounds, with short hair, an “LSW” red shirt and black shorts, remains at large.

Its already time to start school again, whine, whine. Four weeks passed already. : ( I haven't had much to talk about but I do now... I had the most amazing experience yesterday. A chance encounter that lasted about ten hours. Consequently, the floor is unvacuumed and the laundry is still dirty. But wow. My neighbor has a friend that recently moved in with her. Her boyfriend of several years passed away a few months ago. They are recovering alcoholics. There were four of us total and we talked about everything under the sun. It was one of those encounters that you couldn't plan nor can you duplicate. That's why I let everything wait until later to be done becasue last night was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We talked about faith, astrology, spiritual ascention, spiritual weakness and healing. I can't even remember everything we discussed. I am left with this feeling of spiritual freshness. The energy was so strong and the answers were right at our ...
