A recap of a Fun Filled Evening

Last night marsha and I went to see "The Longest Yard" staring Adam Candler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, and more importantly Kevin Nash. Now some of you may be wondering who the last three Actors are, well they are not really actors, well some to think of it, they are WWE superstars, yes wrestlers. I was also glad to see Rob Schneider in the movie as well, an Adam Candler standard. Movie was great. I do enjoy a good comedy once in a while. recommend for others to see it.

Ran into Jon and The Boy after the show. Turns out they went to the same movie. I didn't hear their "What?" chants. I know I would have died laughing.

JAGO IN PURSUIT

The drive home was interesting. After dropping Marsha off at home I went up 9th Ave. NW.

At 12:10 am, June 1, 2005, I encountered a yellow bronco truck at the corner of 9th and Caribou. The vehicle was partially in my lane and his with his right signal light on. When the light turned green the vehicle sped off at a fast pace and begun to swerve all over the road. I thought it might be a possible DUI so I (being the good Samaritan) thought I should follow him and see what he was up to. After reaching speeds of 70km/hr and still swerving all over the roads I thought to call it in. I called 911 at 12:17 and they dispatched me thru to the police department. The vehicle almost didn't stop at the Thatcher Dr. and 9th ave intersection, then proceeded to the #1 highway. He drove thru the 9th ave and #1 highway intersection nearly hitting a Eastbound van. The Vehicle then turned on to the highway and headed West swerving left to right, almost coming to a complete stop on the highway then signaling right then left. He then did a U-turn at the next crossroad and headed back towards the city limits. The police were finally on scene and met me at the intersection of 9th and #1 highway. I then felt safe to leave the scene.

The dispatch officer told me she "don't expect you to follow him on the highway." I thought it was in my best interest to keep an eye on the vehicle to make sure he doesn't kill himself or someone else.

I then headed home and went to bed. I couldn't get to sleep right away. I think it was the thought of me being in pursuit of a DUI. I then got a call from the dispatch officer wondering if I could stop by the station and give a statement. So I did. Come to think of it, I think I did a better job describing the situation here than in my actual statement. I commented to the officer that I was no English major and could probably right it out a second time and it might have made more sense.

So Chalk one up for the good guy. 1 more less idiotic stupid drunk driver off the road.

STAR WARS TRILOGY

Marsha and I started to watch the Star Wars series. I want to see Episode 1&2 again before 3. It's been a while. Watched 1 on Sunday night, 2 is tonight and 3 maybe Friday night with another couple. Look at us going out with other couples aren't we just great.
