For some reason, only IE will link to our blog from our homepage. Netscape, for some reason, can&#8217;t seem to find this page. Sigh. Kev&#8217;s on shift and pretty grumpy right now so I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be able to get him to fix it until later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Thought I should probably put up a general disclaimer here. The ultrasound on our homepage IS NOT our child. That&#8217;s my sister, Suzy&#8217;s, new baby. I realize that at first glance, it&#8217;s a little deceiving. My friend Kathy emailed me and said at first she got all excited thinking we were going to be proud parents. Sorry Kathy, no kids in our future yet (if you don&#8217;t count Artie of course).<\/p>\n<p>Had a run in with the police yesterday &#8211; it was kind of cool. I&#8217;m on the bus, heading home like normal, and the bus driver notices this guy running toward the bus. So, being the nice bus driver that she is, she waits a little longer at the stop for him Some bus drivers are not this kind and I have had many a bus pull out instead of waiting. But that is another story. Once he&#8217;s on, she starts to joke with him about how he almost missed he. He takes a seat one in front of me and we head on down Sandy. We haven&#8217;t gone far when we start to hear sirens and the traffic piles up. I&#8217;m thinking, accident up ahead. We inch along and final clear the snag leaving the sirens behind. Now, we haven&#8217;t gone more than a mile when all of a sudden, we start hearing sirens coming up behind us. The bus driver jokes it must be her bad driving. We all start to laugh until the cops surround the bus and pull us over. Two officers hop out of their police car and pound on the bus doors to be let in. They have their hands on their guns and jump on the bus, say a few words to our driver who points them to the back of the bus. One officer looks back toward us and says &#8220;Alright, put your hands up where I can see them.&#8221; I&#8217;m thinking, &#8220;Me???&#8221; The guy who ran to catch the bus shoots his hands into the air and the police man runs back and grabs him. They hussle him off the bus and handcuff him. Once he&#8217;s in the police car, they come back on and search his seat where he had dropped a jacket and baseball cap. Turns out he had just robbed a store and was trying to make a fast get away. All in all, it was pretty cool. Although, I did have a flashback to Speed for a moment there. I wonder what would of happened it I had put my hands up too???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for the lag in postings but I&#8217;ve been having problems with the web page.
