Too Good to Make up (Week of July 18th)

(Note: This is continuing updates to posts that were missed during July...more to follow.)

I have been doing the IM bike loop about one every week sometimes I leave from home but other times I go after work. This Tuesday I left after work and drove to Verona starting at Badger Middle School). When I get there is a Cadillac Escaladed and a Chevy Trail Blazer that had smacked head on doing major damage to both vehicles. Both vehicles were in the loop of the school parking lot. Police were at the scene and as I was getting ready an officer pulled off to one corner of the parking lot. I figured the right thing to do was to ask if it was still ok to park. It was. My curiosity got the better of me, so I asked the officer if the people involved in the accident were young men under the age of 20. (Ok, I have two twenty something sons, and somehow this just seemed like one of those things….yes I know I am stereotyping.) The officer turned to me and smiled, he said that was my exact thought when I pulled in.

As it turns out the persons involved were middle age men. I will qualify the punch line; yes we are all pigs. One of the men admitted to being distracted by a passing jogger and shortly after his admission the other admitted to the same thing. So many questions should be asked but maybe this one just stands on its own. See you can’t make this stuff up and it was too good not to share.
