17 Years LAPD has left me institutionalized beyond my own understanding. There was a certain routine that I had when working the DUI watch. Get ready at 1530hrs, uniform up, practice drawing from my holster, make sure I was all together, put on my helmet, turn on my blue-tooth, and mount up and leave home to do the 23 mile drive to VTD in Van Nuys.
Along the way keeping constant watch around me to make sure, 1. I was not being followed, 2. Make sure I was not being staged upon, 3, Make sure I did not look around too much so I would not slam into a vehicle in-front of me that had Motor-cop fever. While on shift, swivel time, I figured by 55 years old, my neck would be worn out from all of the turning. At 0400hrs I would start my trek home, again, easier to watch traffic and to see if people are following me home, but I had to be careful not to out run my headlight. Another motor, very good friend, slammed into a full sized video arcade game that had just fallen off of a truck in front of him, lying in the darkness, he still won't play asteroids to this day. So where does the institutionalization come in, besides me loosing bowel control every time my wife turns on the microwave remnant of my first motorcycle T/C August 12, 1995? Bowel control jesting, (first t/c true)FYI
Its like this, whether or not people become timid when it comes to buying homes, there will still be business for those of us that keep our focus on our front sight. When we do not become distracted by news, trauma, pessimists, doom-sayers, and even friends and family, we can truly do what we do best. Work in a 100% commission business without a net. So, how do I see the market, whether buyers, sellers, hard, soft, wishy-washy? It is all good and workable, I just have to be green, bend a little, and never forget to be grateful for everything each and every moment of each and every day.
