Dark Side of the Moon

I was going through my book today and Mose has a B-Day coming on May 7th I believe.I recall the summer we went just about every night to his out of town parents place down in that cool basement bar that opened onto the inground pool.I bought the portable AM/FM-Cassette deck one night and we played the Pink Floyd album over and over.The most memorable night though was when Wildman,Kiviat,Foos and myself went to 12 corners in Brighton to pick up a pound.The week before on a sunday night we were out of pot cruising somewhere in the city with Foos calling out the window when these two guys said they had herb.Foos bought some and got to talking and set up a buy for a pound several nights later.We drove to Brighton from moses place and parked in a little shopping center lot.Behind us was a Donut store and behind that a older two story wood frame house Foos went into for the buy.The other three of us were sitting in the F85 and as the minutes went by getting restless.After about 40 minutes with still no sign of Dave we were getting worried when all of a sudden 4 or 5 Brighton police cars came roaring into the lot and drove back towards the house.That was enough for Wildman and myself and we split the F85 and hitchiked back to Moses .As we walked up to Bills front door an underclassmen went racing by and yelled something. A few minutes later I answered a knock on the door to find a Monroe County Cop standing there.Bob and I thought he was there for us but he asked us where the kid who was "Garaging" was hiding.We realised he was looking for the kid who ran by and said so but he claimed to have seen him run into the house.We hadn't even had a chance to make it down to the bar and the cop wanted to come in and look around so we said OK.He wandered around a few rooms and then came back to us and asked us what was behind this door.We said the steps to the basement so the cop opens the door and I am right behind him staring down at all these guys drinking and in a direct line is Murph toking on a joint.The cop is looking down the stairs and Murph looks up the stairs and his eyes got REAL BIG.The cop looks at Murph then turns to me and says "Why don't you see if he's down there" I go down look around a suddenly very silent bar and come back up and tell him he's not there.The cop looks down the stairs again and tells Bob and I to have a good night and walks back out the front door.Not long after this Foos and K show up with a pound and it turns out the Brighton Police cars were all just parking behind the Donut shop before going in for glazed and a cup of Joe.
