I am taking anything walkie. You can send me a number. 3-4, 10-4[1]. If you can make a check, it's going to be just cruising coffee on the Kilauea Avenue entrance. I had an anonymous female calling from across the street. Said there's a homeless male sleeping by the entrance. Just concerned he's going to get run over. Check only[2]. Copy. Number 4. That's the check I made earlier. He's literally leaned behind a telephone pole. There's no way for a car to bang up. I'll be attending on a 10-1 to a visitor processing. Can you please drop her and see you just in the call, please.
