Last night I went on a ride-along with Sarge's friend RP -- the graveyard shift from 9 P.M. to 7 A.M. It was rather informative; I wasn't bored even though it could be considered a slow night. We did make one traffic stop -- someone was going 40 mph in a 25 zone. It turns out that he had a suspended license and a history of not showing in court for traffic offenses so RP was saying afterward that if he had known, he would have had the truck towed. No violent incidents last night.

Around 3, we went to a local Mel's Diner (not to be confused with Mel's Drive-in in SF)--RP said the food there wasn't that great, and he was right. I got a burger, and it tasted rather burnt.

I'm thinking of doing it again when he gets a weekend shift, perhaps Spring or Summer of next year.
