LETTERSOLD SCHOOL COPSYou're out on day shift patrol.Not too busy today. A few carstops, a few citations "Sign here,press hard, you're making fivecopies." No AM/FM radio in thedash of your Plymouth Fury Pursuitso the only "music" you hearis the loping of that 335 horsepowercamshaft inside of the440 cubic inch Super-Commandobeneath its hood. It's bangingaway like Gene Krupa on hisdrum set. It leaves no questionto anyone in traffic alongside ofyou who the boss is.It's high noon and a ratherwarm summer day. You are notfeeling too hungry but a frostybeverage would be in order.Luckily, your buddy operates aTexaco filling station out on thenearby dual highway so off yougo. Rolling down the asphaltat 75mph right in your Plymouth'scruising range. There ishis station just ahead. Their adsays "You can trust your car tothe man who wears the star"but you joke, you can trust yoursafety to the man who wearsa star AND a .38! LOL. You rollinto the parking lot and gun the440. Old Herbie looks out frombeneath a car in the bay lift andgives you a nod. He knows hecan trust you alone in the stationoffice. You flip the toggle switchto your PA system and walkpast the outside Coke machine.Luckily, Herbie has a refrigeratorin the back of his office for his"special" customers. You openthe door and gaze at the lowershelf with its cool, frosty longneck Lonestar and Schlitz beers.However, it's no longer 1890 andthe division frowns upon on-dutyalcohol consumption. There onthe second shelf you see an arrayof Dr. Pepper, Frostie, and thereit is! 7up. You drop 15 cents intothe old coffee can that servesas an honor box. Then you pushyour Stetson back on your headand roll the cool, icy, can acrossyour forehead. Then you walk upto the cigarette machine. Thereare two things you left the servicewith, your pair of "militarysquares" and a hankering forgood tobacco. You reach into14 The BLUES - FEBRUARY ‘25
your uniform pants and drop 50cents into the machine and pullthe lever. A nice, fresh, pack ofCamels. You yell to Herbie.."I'moff duty tomorrow! I'll bring myol' Road Runner by for a tune up!"Just then an operator sees yourFury idling in the lot. For reasonsknown only to him, he gets the"squirrel in the headlamps" lookand kicks his car in the ass. Offhe goes. You run to your Fury,slide across the plain vinyl seatand in a muscle memory seriesof motions you activate your roofrotators and flip the siren on, itwails as it comes to life. A size12 roper boot punches downonto the throttle and the Sur-Grip rear leaves a double roostertail of dirt and loose gravelas you slide sideways onto thehighway. The 440 howling tolife like a Lion as its four barrelgoes to wide open throttle. Youreach for the Motorola mic tonotify Dispatch – "it's time to goto work."ALBERT PRÖPPER-WYSOCKTUNNEL TO TOWERSHONORS AMERICA’S HEROESHave something you'dlike to share with ourreaders?Send your letters to:Bluespdmag@gmail.comIN THELINE OFDUTYProviding mortgage-freehomes to Gold Star andFallen First Responderfamilies with youngchildren and buildingspecially-adapted SmartHomes for our mostseverely injured.WORKING TO ERADICATEVETERAN HOMELESSNESS.MORE THAN 3,300 RECEIVED HOUSINGAND SERVICES IN 2023 ALONE;THOUSANDS MORE ARE BEING HELPED.NEVER FORGETFDNY Firefighter Stephen Sillergave his life while savingothers on September 11, 2001THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN SUPPORTING OURNATION’S HEROES EVER SINCE.OUR EVENTS INSPIREAMERICA TO REMEMBER.THE TUNNEL TO TOWERS 9/11 INSTITUTE EDUCATES FUTURE GENERATIONS.DONATE /MO TODAY T2T.ORGThe BLUES - FEBRUARY ‘25 15
