Dog barking wakes me up, next thing I hear is a guy talking to himself loudly saying ’ Dude, I’m ready to go" . in between his talking he’s graoning something fierce in obvious pain.
I realize hes getting louder because he’s walking up onto my front porch! the guy is drunk, very drunk…very very drunk.
I’m up and near the door just in case the guy tries coming in…instead i hear…
“here kitty ditty! Ah come on lemme pick ya up kitty kitty!” …the guys on my porch …because he wants to pet our cats…Ohhhh kayyyeeeee…
He then struggles over to the side of the porch and says “whaccha barking at doogie?” then rolls down past my truck. I’m on the phone to 9-11 by now I have the door open now ( I have a security screen on it) I tell the guys I’m talking to 9-11 (I was worried he would do something to my truck) but the guys apologizes and says he’s “9-11 ready to come and get me.” and he starts walking down the street, still groaning.
well about 15 minutes later the cops arrive shining there spots up and down the street, we havent heard anything from the guy since he left, so I go out to the squad car and talk to the cops, explain what happened and tell them which way he went, the cops head up to the end of the street to turn around and I walk back to the house. As I reach the sidewalk i look down the sidewalk and i notice barely visable in the shadows of my nieghbors house what looks like a small trash bag left on the side walk. I walk over to investigate and realize the bag has shoes! Its the guy, curled up in a fetal position out cold! Luckily the cops by now were turned around and heading back , i flag them down and say "your not going to believe this, and point to the guy whos no more than 20 feet from my truck, thats as far as he got. he was only about 40 feet from where I had been talking to the cops!
We’ll they manage to wake him up. Hes a clean cut looking young man, early 20’s. He has no idea w
Hey Vic,
I always maintain it’s no accident he ended up on your porch where help was available. Sure hope he appreciates the “second chance” in life. Thanks for sharing the story. I bet every year from now on that one will always come to mind. Later eh…Brian.
Ian, anyone can go skinnydipping in a pool here, but to do it in the ocean means diving into a winter shore that the rains have just flushed all the $%#@ out of the sewers and into the ocean. No thanks, I dont want to dodge offshore floaters and other ickkie things…[;)]
Well done, Vic. [angel]We can only hope that more people step up to the plate when others are in need. To many cowards nowadays turn the other way and refuse to get involved. The world is not so bad because of people like you, I stand and salute you!

Yes Danny you are right, I was just gently reminding my mate Vic that this is an international forum and what is common knowledge in one country may not even be known in another.
Vic you are right about the sewage, we have done something about it here on the Sunshine Coast and we have no pollution at all and any one that pollutes gets fined very large fines and gets kicked out of Queensland.
