So this morning, I headed to the police department to make the statement about yesterday’s drunk-driving incident. (please read yesterday’s post if you haven’t – after reading that sentence!)

I then headed here to the church for a work day.

We are in the midst of a complete foyer renovation project at church and today we had planned to begin ripping up the carpet and the new carpet would be layed behind us.

We ripped up ALL of the carpet that we needed to AND the carpet layer got a good start on putting the new carpet down!

This is exciting stuff! (pictures do it NO justice, but here are some anyways!)

Dad and Mom Garrett headed to Warsaw this afternoon to treat their Daughter and son-in-law to lunch at Hacienda!

On our way to meet them at Hacienda, we were following a 4×4 pickup truck. The driver was acting pretty weird while turning – weird enough for me to ask Jess if she thought we knew the driver and that maybe he was just trying to get our attention.

We checked the memory banks and no one came up, so I continued to follow cautiously.

When I thought he was turning left onto a side-street, I pulled almost up next to him to pass on the right (a legal pass, I might add) and what-do-ya-know, the joker turns RIGHT and nearly crushes my lovely Neon!

So, being the kind gentleman that I am, I honked my horn to get his attention – or to say, “Hey Mr., you nearly killed us!”

As he turned right, I REALLY could tell something was wrong with this man.

Why?

Because he pulled into the ONCOMING traffic lane and over into the shoulder and OVER the stop sign!

Yep, the dude clobbered the stop sign and found himself in a 4-foot pile of snow.

Humorous to the casual on-looker, I decided against the normal belly-laugh and immediately called 911.

I explained the situation and during my explaination, the pickup driver got dislodged from his snow-pile and headed back into drive-mode as I was chatting with Ms. 911.

I quickly chose to follow and get his license plate for the operator and we got to watch two police cars eventually pull him over and begin to question him.

I was thanked on the phone and told that I would get a return phone call if it was needed.

My cell phone rang during lunch and the Warsaw officer took a phone-statement, thanked me and asked if I would be willing to make a written statement tomorrow morning.

I will be heading to the Warsaw Police station tomorrow morning to make a statement!

Mr. O.W.I. (Operating While Intoxicated) was in their custody and I was thanked for being “that citizen”!

So, I’ve done my civic duty for the day.

In my ever-present attempt at making stevansheets.com a worthwhile-daily-read, I publicly ask this question…

Does the following list make me a prime candidate for O.C.D. or just a weird guy:

– making sure that all of my paper money faces the same way in my wallet

– in a public restroom, use the paper-towel (or my sleeve) to open the door (unless it’s an “open-out” type where I can “kick” it open)

– swipe my Old Spice “Sport” deodorant 13-times under each armpit each morning

– allow a maximum of 2-clicks on the turn signal when changing lanes

– double click the power-door locks

– while trying to fall asleep, only blinking during the “off duration” of the colon between the hour & minutes of the alarm clock – making the colon “seem” to be “always on”.

In other “what’s-wrong-with-Stevan-news”, last night during my latest “I can’t sleep” spell, I saw a commercial with a website that I HAD to check out today – it was “www.adultADD.com”.

After taking the test provided on their website, the conclusion was NOT surprising:

“The responses you have provided indicate that your symptoms may be consistent with Adult ADD. It may be beneficial for you to talk with your healthcare professional about an evaluation.”

Hmmm.

I finally have some pictures to show you from the 35mm camera that I now own.

Enjoy:

Brennan, again – giving me “the look”

It’s Thursday today, and being Thursday – is my day off. I have done quite a few loads of laundry (still no folding, but LOTS of laundry), cleaned the bathroom, and took a walk in the snow around the apartment. I will soon leave for a nice little store I like to call Wal-Mart.

Thanks for all the comment-action lately – makes me feel like stevansheets.com is being read by more than just 3-people!

For your enjoyment, I have finally uploaded the article that was in “THE PAPER” (honestly, it’s called THE PAPER here in Warsaw) about little ‘ol me…

Open it up in a new window.
