Long time, no post

Been a little bit since my last post, so I figured I'd throw one up here.

Things have been interesting lately over in little 'ole Polk County, where I make the drive from every day to come here to The Star. Let me sum up things just a bit.

Last Sunday on my way home I passed 6 cop cars with someone arrested and bent over the hood of a car. We NEVER see that many cop cars at that time of night unless something serious happened. So, I kept an ear out to see what had happened. Well the next day as I was making a run to the grocery store I passed a small trailer park less than a quarter mile from my house. It was taped off with Police tape and a firetruck and two cop cars were parked outside. This led to me guessing that the trailer had been a meth lab. My mom didn't think so, but I disagreed and said it probably was. I didn't see any fire damage and saw no reason for the police and firemen to be hanging out there.

A few hours later I get a phone call. Sure enough I was right. It turns out in fact that the 6 cars I saw the previous night were directly related. Apparently the police had gotten a call about three suspicious people walking down the road and when they stopped them that led them to the trailer on our road. Bingo, they found the meth lab. Go figure.

And oh yeah, a local Pastor's home caught on fire last night. I was going to the grocery store to get my mom some milk and I turned around and saw a flame coming up over the trees. The fire apparently started in an upstairs bedroom but was snuffed out pretty quickly once all the firemen got on the scene. Luckily no one got hurt.

News just likes to happen around me. I don't know why.
