Was in town running a few errands this morning. Got back to the farm, got out of the car, took a leak because I had been drinking coffee and because I can.........and I hear sirens real close.
Local LE was raiding the next farm south of me, two armored vehicles, numerous other vehicles. The bullhorn carried real easy to me (almost an 80 in between), "drop the gun, put your hands up, etc". This went on for awhile, grabbed my binoculars and watched for awhile, waiting for gunfire, then looked around and didn't see any LE vehicles blocking a nearby intersection, which I thought was odd. Called the Sheriff and they confirmed it was a drill.
I reckon I'll return to my ho-hum day
That reminds me of an incident a few years ago, I was in slow moving traffic and I see in my rear view mirror a police chase coming my way, my first thought was pull out and completely block the road but then I noticed a police car up ahead so I sat tight as the suspects car hurtled past went through a stinger followed by a couple of police cars.
I continued on my way and at the next pull in the police cars and suspect's car were parked up and all having a good laugh. No cuffs or flat tires...

I once got to witness the funniest motor vehicle accident. Husband dropped off his wife at dealership to pick up a brand new Cadillac. What happened you ask?
Im on a side street, waiting at a light to get on the highway. Im sitting there when this Caddy slams on the brakes and stops over the line. Then I see the backup lights come on and it backs up. A tri-axle dump truck pulls up behind it. I get the green light in the meantime but ignored it waiting to see what happened next. Yup you guessed it, light changed and she floored it right into the dump truck! Lady never shifted into drive, nor did she hear the truck drivers horn. I was laughing, the truck driver was laughing and when the police showed up they were laughing.

My Wife could do that. Then she would ask if she did it.
