Well Olive you really did it this time! Your crackhead buddy apparently didn't stop running from you and your 12 gauge til he hit Pennsylvania....and he brought a buddy this time. We had a very interesting night in my sleepy town here. I suppose it all starts last week. A small auto repair shop that is nearby was broken into and robbed... I heard about it and thought "gee thats close to home how strange". Well tonight the fun started here at my own home... A good friend of mine was stopping by at my house from visiting late with his parents who he hadn't seen in a while. And by friend I mean like the brother that I never had... My girlfriend and I had gotten in not much sooner than he was supposed to be getting here right around 10 -11 oclock. We cruised in, turned around behind the garage and parked my old Dodge pickup and went in the house. Maybe a half hour later I hear him pull in the drive. All of a sudden I hear tires spinnin and stones flyin. He damn near knocks the door in on us and says "get the guns we got two guys out back screwin with your trucks!" You gotta be shittin me right.... So here we go with a .44 S&W and a 12 gauge Winchester loaded for bear. Thank Christ the assholes high tailed it by the time we got down there because I wouldn't want to have bloodied my trucks out back. As for the police...never bothered because last year we had a scare here, somebody tried to break in the front door in the middle of the night and the police said "ETA is pushed back", "We'll be out in the morning", and eventually "just leave a light on" and never showed up at all to even talk to us about what was going on. Guess anything short of actually shooting the bastard doesn't get their attention. So we sat here til 2AM shooting the bull after that excitement. Bottom Line: Stay locked and loaded my friends.
