I do love California: it's … quirky

by Diane Duane

I lived there for a total of seven years or so, and miss the place often. Just don’t ask me to be rational about the reasons. Here’s one:

Palm Springs Police have yet to catch up with a cross dressing man who robbed a Union Bank branch on Sunrise. It happened just before noon yesterday inside the Ralph’s grocery store.

A teller says the suspect walked up to the counter and handed her a note demanding money. No word how much money he got away with.

Officers say the bandit was wearing a blue denim dress with a green long sleeved shirt, khaki shorts and had blond or light brown shoulder-length hair, believed to be a wig.

Another Union Bank of California branch in Palm Desert was also robbed by a man wearing a wig last week.

No word if the two robberies might be related.

Don’t see why they would have to be. It’s California, people. Move on… 

(But I do want to see the video from the security cameras.)

A dress, a long sleeeved shirt and shorts? In the desert, at this time of year? I hesitate to ask how they know about the shorts, unless it was a minidress (I’m assuming it’s sleeveless or very short sleeves). The mental picture I’m getting is – strange. (And I see college and high school students nearly every day, some apparently dressed for a costume party. Train to downtown and shopping near CSUN.)
