I Love That Woman

While I was in Denver today, bringing David for a visit with his birthparents, Colleen had all the rest of the kids in her van, as she drove to pick up the three who attend a local charter school about a half hour from our farm. Two men in a Ford pickup were heading west, and Colleen was headed south. The pickup came right at her, as the men turned south on the same road on which Colleen was driving.

Colleen was forced to swerve off the road into a ditch. No one was hurt, and she got the van out okay. She pulled out her cell phone and first called 411, then 911. She followed the drunks for twenty minutes into town. They pulled up at the liquor store. The men got out of the truck and started walking toward her. They told her they were good Christians. She told them to stop right where they were, and said, "Like Hell you are good Christians. You're Assholes, and I am calling the cops." She placed another call to 911 and the dispatcher promised to send the sheriff deputies right away.

Man, I was actually scared reading that first paragraph. I'm glad nobody was hurt! I hope those turkeys get more than just a slap on the wrist.
