To All,
Earlier this morning I almost made the news - in a bad way!
Much earlier (around 1800) I had joined a friend on the SW side of Ft. Wayne. We went downtown to pick up ribs at Ribfest. I took him back to his house where his family and I downed all the ribs and brisket.
When we were done eating we sat out on the back patio and smoked a couple of good Monte Cristo Whites and chatted the night away. I was booted out a little before midnight.
Anyway, I was meandering home in no particular hurry heading north on Spy Run Ave taking a back way just south of Tom Steele Tires. A white Sable or Taurus clearly going the wrong way on a one way cut right in front of me hauling a**. Had I been in a hurry to get home and going just 5 or 10 MPH faster I know I would have been slammed into next week. I thought, "that idiot better watch it or he is going to get a ticket."
As I proceeded north all of a sudden there was the sound of sirens and lights in my rear view mirror so I immediately signaled, got as far right as I could and stopped. It would appear LE was already on him and in a high speed chase. By the time I got to Parnell Ave neither one was seen by little ol' me.
I love and trust my Volvo dearly but I know a car that size going that fast would have surely put me in the hospital for a time! Both must have been doing at least 80 - 100 MPH!
I hope no one was injured and the idiot will get some free time to consider stupid and his cousin - consequences.
Any insight?
Regards,
Doug
