On my way to work today, I stopped to get my usual junkie hit ---er, Starbucks latte and went to pull into what I thought was an empty parking space.
Instead, here's what I saw:



It's a little hard to see, so here's a closer look:



That's right, two DPD mounted patrol officers and their horses were parked (double parked?) outside the neighborhood opium den. While one officer was inside presumably examining the facilities, the other was outside texting on his Blackberry while astride Old Nelly.

That is, he was texting while he wasn't fending off questions from the local ladies. I swear, mounted cops are CHICK MAGNETS. There were women coming out of the hair salon next door with foil in their roots wanting to pet the pretty horsies. It was the most remarkable thing I've seen in a while.

What I want to know is how they got to the corner of Midway & Northwest Highway on HORSEBACK.

Ted, I only say it because it's true... and because I truly visit EVERY DAY.
They have my money, they have my heart.

Isn't it illegal to double park?

The truck and trailer were probably around the corner. My question is WHY would they be patroling that area on horse back?

I'm with Ted on the coffee. NO CHOCOLATE!!

My daughter was having to go there for her morning "Fix" everyday until her husband bought her a machine. (I bet she still goes there)

I don't do the "hot cop on a horse" thing. Now if it was a cowboy with olive skin and dark hair, then we'll talk. Coffee... we'll talk right now.

Ladies love a cop on a HORSE. I'll keep my smart ass remarks to myself.

Well ya gotta admit that getting around on horseback is cheaper than burning gas in the cars.
