Pristopp Wastes an Evening

Dearest Friends:

I have always had the privilege of beating the heat in the summer. During the time of the British Raj while serving dear Aunt Vicki, the Empresses of India, I would take a short spell to an Indian hill station. For 3 to 4 months. Usually Kangala in Maharashtra or sometimes Darjeeling in West Bengal.

The altitude would do wonders. Cool aires. Cavorting with my fellow elite. Catching up on last month's news from London. Quite a relief from the heat of the plains and the vexing urban life on the Sub Continent.

Heat can be so oppressive.

Thus, I worry about the Ancient Citte.

You see it seems some residents have decided to take to the streets. And do damage to APD vehicles. Right in their own neighborhood.

So far, three vehicles have been damaged in the Newtowne 20 community alone. Windows broken, vehicles damaged. We're not sure why this is.

Chief Pristoop paid a visit to the neighborhood Tuesday night to try to find out. Unfortunately for him it involves something between Woodside Gardens and Newtowne 20. We're not sure exactly what. Nor did anyone else have an idea.

It must be the heat. So I recommend we found our own hill station for all Annapolitans.

Ferry Farms would do quite well. There's a big white house with a fantastic view that could be seized through the eminent domain powers of citte. Although slightly outside the citte, we could then annex it once seized. Like we did to those Eastporters 50 years ago when they, too, stepped out of line.

It's almost 100 feet above Bay level. Sure to get a good breeze off that.

To cool some people off.
