Dazed by flares, confused by the reasoning behind the flares.
Today I was driving merrily along, heading out to the store in search of a better bottle of wine for my apple sangria. (Apparently there is a reason they say not to use oak aged wine!)
As I approached the large intersection near my local liquor store, I see dozens of pink flares. I see 2 police cars parked in the middle of the intersection. I see policemen directing traffic. What I do not see is the reason for this. My first thought was maybe the traffic light was out. Nope. It is working just fine.
Next I scanned the area for signs of an accident. There were no smashed up cars. No tow trucks or emergency vehicles. There wasn’t even a shard of glass anywhere in sight. I decided the policemen were just bored.
On my way back, everything was gone. All the flares, the policemen, the police cars – they vanished. I was amazed that they were able to pack up & leave so quickly. I then came to the conclusion that I must have seen a mirage. The flares & cops were never there in the first place.
Obviously they heard you were on your way and needing alcohol for the BIG apple festival and they were trying to clear you a path.
Have you ever tried apple moonshine? Have I asked you that already? I once tried regular moonshine and it about killed me but then someone gave me a jar of apple moonshine a couple of years ago and it was SOOOOO delicious. I don’t think any of your stores would carry it
but…….you could always build your self a little moonshine still and …..
Damn! I wish I had thought of that whole “clearing the way” thing. And nope, never tried any sort of moonshine. I am so disappointed, though, that you, a good Baptist, would be suggesting I build a still.
