So far Tyler has been an experience – For me and for Tyler!

I've been in Tyler now for about a month.  It's a great town and everyone has been so friendly.  The experience, however, hasn't always been easy-- For me, or for Tyler! I've already met three of Tyler's finest.  First, for listening to my GPS and turning onto a One Way street that wasn't going my way!  That officer was so very nice and it was so very obvious that I wasn't from around here that he simply made sure I was reoriented to go the right direction and he bid me good afternoon. Second, I found another of our men in uniform astride a motorcycle a block from where I was hoping to find an apartment.  Apparently, my expired inspection sticker caught his attention; his lights and siren caught mine.  My eyes teared up when he asked for my current address to fill out the ticket because , at that point,  I'd been searching for weeks and still was homeless. However, he was not moved by my despair and simply used my last known address on the ticket --  and bid me a good afternoon.  (for those concerned, I've already remedied the inspection sticker issue and am compliant again) So, the third time to meet an officer?  I had decided to give my friend a tour of the station on the weekend.  I unlocked the door and then couldn't get the alarm code correct and ... "AAAAUGH"!  The siren starts blaring and by the time I got the right code in -- the  officer was at the door.  I had to convince him that I worked here and was just too new to know the correct code fast enough.  He looked at me like I was not rowing with both oars -  if you know what I mean - but then bid me a good afternoon. So, let me see...One and a half months in Tyler - three encounters with the men who keep law and order in the town.  I'm thinking I may be making more of an impression on my new hometown than I'd intended!  I'm hoping to do better as I get more used to Tyler and Tyler gets more used to me.  But, for now,  I bid you a good afternoon!
