What A Day!

What a day.  I will admit that some days I am kind of lazy.  But not today!  I cleaned and then I cleaned some more.  I bleached all of my tile grout.  I don't have that much tile but when you think about having to scrub 4 sides of every tile... it adds up... fast.  Then I cleaned my oven.  I also finished refurbing my lamp.  I will have to post a picture.  It looks really good!  I am proud of it.

This is where it gets interesting.  Brian got home from work and we had to run and get a few things and this car backs out of his driveway.  It would be like a guy backing out of his driveway on 17th street.  A busy road and we had to stop pretty abruptly.  He kind of just sat there for a minute.  Brian was a great driver and was paying attention.  Then he sped off really fast and almost hit several curbs.  At this point we were thinking that maybe we should call someone and report him as a drunk driver.  I bet he was going 60+ in a 35 too.  Well we pulled up to an intersection and had a red light and he stops literally like right in the middle of the road.  At this point we really thought we should call someone but didn't know if that was a 911 matter or who to call.  Well we both turn and not 50 yards ahead the next light changes and he he doesn't slow down.  Brian was like 'WOA He is Going To Hit People!' Well he did.  He rear-ended a lady and it was a 3 car effect.  We go past them and get a visual of the driver.  We were going to pull forward and make sure the lady that he hit first was ok.  Well that is when it gets MORE interesting.  The guy takes off!  That's when we decide it is definitely time to call 911.  It rang 9 times before anyone picked up.  Good thing I wasn't dying or something...  Well Brian had turned and started to follow this guy.  The 911 lady said keep following him and she had several people going to the scene.  We followed him forever.  He was going sooo fast!  like 75 on these little residential streets. It was like he was going through a maze.  We kept giving the lady directions and she said the cops were getting closer and keep following.  We gave a description of the car and license number and told her everything that happened. He got going so fast that finally we lost him but she said that she had a cop that had a visual on the vehicle.  She said we would be getting a call to give our witness statement but no one has called.  It was a very scary experience.  I thought he had a gun or something.  At one point we even saw that he got out of his car to check out the damage up front.  We followed him for several blocks and I'm sure that he noticed.  Scary, but it feels good that we did our civic duty and helped catch the 'bad guy.'  Ha I should be a CSI  person.

Tomorrow is going to seem quite boring after tonight!
