He went all the way down until he was out of sight.  I kept walking west on 65th, until a few minutes later when he got back on coming towards me again.  As he made a hard left turn onto 26th, he hit a curb, disabling the vehicle.  I walked by as the dude was standing in the street handcuffed and all disheveled looking, surrounded by Cops and being asked questions.  Fun times in Ballard...</div>\

Really taking a stand aren\'t ya. Fortunately this crap doesn\'t happen in our hood. But when it does we know just who we can count on. And it aint many here on this blog. I have a kid and 3 pets too. I care more than you. I have a pin that states so. Speeding aint new in Ballard. Just when the cops are in it do some get panties bunched. Dee dee dee</div>\
