Burglar Alarm On Artesian, Person Needs Help Opening CTA Storage Unit

Good morning, everyone, it's 9:30am. Sorry for my absence yesterday, guys, but I became busy working on several projects. I'm monitoring 14 today. As I mentioned a few days ago, I will only be monitoring 14 once a month this summer, with the exception of the Puerto Rican Fest, which is next week. I believe it starts on Friday, the 13th, but I'll have to verify that. I'm only going to be monitoring it the one day, unless I find out it starts on Thursday or if it becomes absolutely necessary to monitor it on Saturday as well. Next Saturday is my 21st birthday so I'm really not looking to monitor anything. Due to popular demand, I will be stopping at the Fest on the 13th for at least an hour to see it in the flesh. Also, today is my last day of vacation from school, as my summer class will begin tomorrow morning. We'll see how that goes. I'll be home after 3pm tomorrow.

Fight @ Belmont/Central Park, Traffic Stop @ Rockwell/Belmont

Had a very relaxing time in Milwaukee, which was much needed. Anyway, I'm monitoring 17 this overnight until 7:21am. I'll be monitoring 25 tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, tomorrow will be the first day my new summer schedule will go into effect for this blog. As many of you are probably aware, every year from June to September, I go on an all day everyday monitoring schedule, or at least try to, and this summer will be no exception. Although, I will have to warn you guys now, there will probably be some days I don't monitor in the summer, especially from mid June to late July. In addition to a summer class that I'm taking starting next Thursday that meets on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 8am to 10:40am, I will have Student Government responsibilities as well as be working, as I was hired for a summer job at my school. I'll only be working part-time during June and July as registration is not all that busy and the fact I'm taking a class, but I'll be full-time in August until classes for the fall starts, when the job ends. I'm sorry to be going on and on, but I do want to let all of you know so you are not caught off guard. With that, here's crime for this overnight and early morning.
