Jeers
To the fellow I failed to yield to in Sobeyās parking lot, I was informed by a fellow member that there is a stop line I should have seen. Went back and sure enough there it was. So, even though you are not my wife, I will revert to my husband mantra, āyouāre right, Iām wrong, sorry.ā
Shots fired
While working in Rossland I was called to attend a vehicle that was on fire along the side of the highway.Ā A couple were able to safely get out of the vehicle. The vehicle was engulfed on my arrival. Rossland Fire Department was en route. There was very little I could do other than watch the show and talk to the driver and his passenger. I learned they were en route to Alaska and their worldly possessions were in the camper.Ā We were standing pretty close and Iām hearing a lot of popping sounds and fire cracker type sounds. Strange noise to be coming from a vehicle. I asked the driver what he had in the vehicle that was making this popping sound.Ā āJust ammunition,ā was his response. My response, āwhy donāt we just walk over to my police car and move back a little further.ā Needless to say, I told the fire department to let her burn.
