I used to cycle to work through some fairly rural parts. One morning I saw a hawk drop onto a pidgeon that was sitting in a field minding its own business.
Here is a good story regarding number 8. Buddy is a leo, 3 cars were in a pursuit of a robbery suspect. Deputy down the road sets up tire spikes. Suspect runs over tire spikes, deputy doing tire spikes was so facinated with the results watching suspect vehicle, he forgot to pull spikes off road. The Three squad cars then roll over spikes. Buddy said all tires but one were flattened.
I used to play music also. We played a number of wedding receptions. There were no in betweens. they were either fantastic and fun, or totally screwed up, with fists swinging before, during, and after every single part of the festivities. Always make sure the band gets paid up front. And require that they feed the band, but don't feel obligated to eat, if things look bad. I have seen a couple of weddings that attempted to serve some sort of traditional meal from a native land. Not certain, but I suspect that land is the middle of the poorest part of Ethiopia, and the food was found the week before the wedding proposal. Weddings could be really fun though. The most fun I had as a musician was when we got hired to play at a pig roast. We got our full fee, but the also made sure that we all had a good time, making us a part of their party.
#4 I remember the first time I went skydiving/parachuting. We were in this little one engine plane and had to step out on the strut under the wing and then jump off. We were in a group of four and the jumpmaster told us that we could change our minds at any time until we got into the door and the static line was set. Once we got there we were committed and he would kick us out the door. If we hung onto the strut, the pilot would start doing aerobatics to throw us off. Sure enough, one young lady panicked at the last minute and the jumpmaster kicked her in the ass to get her out of the plane.

ReplyDelete#8 I believe that is called a stinger. It is a steel trellis with hollow spikes that instantly deflates all four of your tyres.
ReplyDeleteRegarding #1, I was playing in a band at a wedding reception when the bouquet got stuck in a chandelier.

#4 that lizard brain, 'oh hell no' reflex is strong.
ReplyDeleteThink he will go for a #2 buzz cut next time???
Delete1 has played a little ball. stop sticks ended to soon he had to have plowed some trees.
ReplyDelete#1 has a better pick-off move to second than most starters on the Cincinnati Reds and a better fastball than the relievers.
ReplyDelete#2- And Darwin smiled...
