So something interesting happened at around 2:45am last night.<br />
<br />
At 02:30 I acknowledged that my daughter was kind of whimpering and was not going to stop. I am not sure how long she was doing it for but maybe 15 minutes. I kept trying to get her to tell me what was wrong but she wouldn't say anything until I went into her bed and cuddled her. She said she was hungry. So my wife and I are up at this point and get her a glass of milk and a piece of bread.<br />
<br />
While she is eating my wife looks out the window at a condo across the street from us and says she has a really odd feeling about it and asks if I can see anything strange. I look and say no I don't see anything. She gets creeped out and kind of hides around the blind, which was half open. I don't think much of it and we all go back to bed.<br />
<br />
We hear a very loud gun shot at like 02:40. I actually did not think it was a gun shot, I thought it was a big bang from the kids that live nearby who have massive jacked up trucks who are up at crazy hours doing that sort of thing. I didn't hear the "crack" generally associated with a firearm that would be that close, just a bang. About 15-20 seconds later we hear 5-10 more shots in rapid succession, those were 100% gun shots. My wife freaks out and lays on the floor with the kids, and I kind of hide around the corner from a window and look out.<br />
<br />
Something like 15-30 police vehicles end up showing up across the street, and there was a police helicopter as well which was going around from about 02:40 to nearly 05:00. A lot of ambulances and EMT vehicles showed up as well.<br />
<br />
The whole time I was just imagining some guy with a gun running away from the cops and trying to hide in someone's house. Meanwhile in Canada, I literally have a room in the basement full of guns, and I can't use so much as a wooden soup spoon to defend my family or I would be in trouble for it. How much better would we feel if I could just sit in the hallway to our bedroom with a shotgun when something crazy like this is going down..<br />
<br />
So the news articles on it just came out. They say that a police officer was shot, and then the suspect ran away and ended up committing suicide. I am 100% sure that the police opened up on him. I don't think many suicides happen with 5-10 rapid shots like that. I am not posting the article for privacy reasons, so if you find it please don't post it.<br />
<br />
What really gets me is that my wife looked at the building and had this horrible feeling before anything started to go down. I swear she has an insane intuition and knows many things before they happen. 100% of the time she has these I think to myself "she is going all crazy Latina on me again". And then after every time something crazy happens. I should start accepting this before shit hits the fan!<br />
<br />
Come to think of it, I think our daughter inherited this as well. She looks and acts just like her mother. I posted on here a few months ago about someone in the alley behind us trying to steal a boat and my daughter being the one to wake us up about it. Well this time she was actually the one to wake us up as well, and was crying and just told us she was hungry but it could have been a bad feeling. Crazy! I know it sounds nuts, but they do this kind of stuff all the time.<br />
<br />
Oh, and we live in a very friendly and good part of the city. Crime rates are steadily going up and getting worse. Theft of property and garage breakings are going through the roof. My wife was worried about it last night after this went down and I told her it is probably going to get worse as The West tanks its own economy under woke policy. This inflation is hitting people hard, combined with the government hating business and raising taxes every chance it gets, people are going to be desperate soon.<br />
<br />
Sorry for this wall of text, last night was freaking insane, and I ended up sleeping in pretty bad due to the madness.

Intuition is more than just coincidence. You can ponder whether it's metaphysical somehow, or just people filtering information they're hardly conscious of, but it's one of our more valuable survival tools either way. Another one is rationality, which sometimes seems at odds with intuition, but really isn't. They are just different ways of arriving at decisions, and they operate at different levels of detail.<br />
<br />
Reading this, it made me think: Talking about business and investment decisions with your wife and daughter could be really valuable. Many people's intuitive sense is more focused on risk than opportunity, but even then, a strong "something's wrong" feeling is worth weighing if you can perceive a range of risk signals. Think of it as a measuring device, which you can read to help make analytical decisions <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br />
<br />
We also have two people in the household who have what you might call uncanny intuitions. Plus one who is almost comically the opposite. The balance of those aspects is fun and often useful.</div>
