Sunday afternoon I was making dinner and heard a bunch of sirens. They sounded really close so I went out and there were 6 firetrucks and 2 ambulances. All the neighbors were walking down the alley to see what was going on, so I joined them. We got close and saw a bike laying on the side of the road and the emt's surrounding somebody on the ground. We were all wondering if it was another neighbor, so one of the guys went over to take a peek and came back laughing. I was thinking somebody was dead or something, so I was so confused on why he was laughing. He got back to us and said "a drunk guy fell off his bike and scratched his elbow" Apparently that was the most excitement our little Balboa Peninsula has seen in awhile, because the whole fire department showed up. Then they hung out in the street for like half hour. No joke- I have never seen that many neighbors out either. It was a party on our street! When the firemen left they drove down our street with their lights on, waving out the window like they were in a parade. The guy who crashed got on his bike and rode away. It gets crazy down here :-)
