    Exclamation Interesting afternoon...

    I get on the highway coming home... right in front of a highway speed chase.Little red car, police car behind with lights going, no sirens. The car decides to pull over on the shoulder, but he's still going highway speed. So, I want to pull over, but what's that red car going to do? So the car passes me on the shoulder (I'm in the right lane), and the cop turns on the sirens and passes on my left. They keep going into the next county, and, as far as I could tell, the next...

    Ran some errands after I got home. Coming out of KMart, an ambulance pulls into the Albertsons/WalMart parking lot, 2 cops behind him. Wonder if something's happened at that bank there...

    What an afternoon! What's going to happen now? And this is a quiet little town of about 30,000...

    Huh. Weird. I just went over to the calendar to see if it's a full moon, but that's not till the 9th. Must be the water. Or, the fire-water.

    That was odd. I had a crazy driver too. I was waiting at an intersection for my turn when a crazy driver started laying on his horn then he when around me into all the oncoming traffic. A handful of cars had to stop and/or swerve - one nearly into me. The crazy then pulls into the fast food/coffee mall. I guess it was a caffeine emergency.
