Won't You Be My Neighbor?

[I'll preface this story with: My immediate neighbors are really quite nice and friendly.]

The first night that Greta was missing, I absolutely could not sleep.  During the night I kept getting up and looking around thinking that maybe she would have returned.  Then, at about 3:30am I went driving around the neighborhood looking for her.  It was dark and a pretty useless cause.  I saw a lady walking alone and very quickly (she was definitely walking with a purpose), so I didn't ask her if she'd seen my dog -- she didn't seem approachable.  Then I turned the corner and saw another much friendlier lady.  She was smiling and waving, you could say she was walking with a different purpose.  This was exactly one block from my house.

Here's the tally:
3:30 AM
North Omaha
Lady, alone on street corner, smiling and waving

It's probably best I stay indoors after dark.  (For what it's worth, she didn't look like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman.")
