Oops almost forgot the link to A Rural Journal
1. As I type this there are ducks flying over head and quacking. I can hear them even though I am inside...or maybe that is someone's ring tone.
2. When I was 20, I was driving in Sierra Vista, through a residential neighborhood. It was a pretty decent neighborhood so I was totally unprepared when an older man, who was severely intoxicated, threw himself in front of the pick up truck I was driving. He literally dove under my tires. I could not stop in time and ran him over with both sets of tires. I did stop and ran out to get help and screamed for some one to call 911. I sure I must have killed him, so imagine my surprise when he got up off the ground and brushed himself off and said, "Well that didn't work so well." The police came and checked him over, he was fine besides being beyond drunk, so they took him in for public intoxication. When they asked him what had happened, he told them that he was trying to commit suicide. They let me leave without even a ticket.
3. I have a very odd rubber worm fetish...(ack! Get your mind out of the gutter!) What I mean is that ever since I was a young girl if there are rubber fishing worms around I can't help but bite them all into little pieces. I am slightly better now that I am older, I can stop after one or two, but there is still something about the way it feels to bite them that I enjoy. Avid fishermen...hate me!
4. As I type this I am seriously nauseous, I can't decide if it is from having red velvet fudge and Red Bull for dinner, nerves, or a stomach bug.
5. Last night we went to Casper Event Center, to see the Jalan Crossland Band play one more time and to watch fireworks. We left before the fireworks started. I have never been a big fan of fireworks. They are kind of boring to me...kind of like air shows. (which in my mind are a complete waste of time)
I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July!
My goodness have that happen to you ...driving over someone.... do you still have nightmares??.... And I love Random Friday too:)
ReplyDeleteNo actually I laugh about it now. I mean he didn't even have a scratch on him...go figure!
DeleteI don't know about that rubber worm thing ;-) LOL, the running over the man event must have been pretty nauseating to say the least! gosh I wonder if he ever tried that stunt again. Music night looks like a blast.
ReplyDeleteIt probably was at the time, but it has been so long ago (30 years) that now it is just one of those weird memories of my life. I have a lot of them.
DeleteMusic night is the best! Nothing I love more than a great picker!
What a story about the drunk. I think it was his lucky night.
ReplyDeleteWow how crazy, probly never got hurt cause he was drunk, of course sober he probly would't have done it so would have gotten hurt either.
ReplyDeleteI like these random posts too, always something interesting to learn about you.
#2 - what a jerk. I can't believe he didn't think about the feelings of the person who ran him over. Good thing he was drunk and relaxed or he probably would have been hurt.
ReplyDeleteGross - maybe you're sick from biting worms! :D
I like your random Fridays too. Maybe I ought to steal your idea.
Andrea, the random 5 friday comes from Nancy's blog, see the link above. I wish I had that cool of an idea!
DeleteCrazy 5 facts Cindy! But the one about the suicide-diver really surprised me. How sad for the both of you.
