Re: Why is there a bullet gouge in Dave Lavery's ceiling?
Yes, the bullet gouge in the ceiling is real. So were the bullet holes in the window.
One evening there was a drug bust in the apartment complex across the street, and a shoot-out erupted between the police and the gang members. Several wild shots came toward our building, and two came through my office window. One lodged in between the panes of the window, and the other struck the ceiling.
There is a reason that I place my computer between my desk and the window - it affords some protection against incoming projectiles. I have since moved to a new office (I need to update the diagram on the web page), but still am very careful when looking out the window...
