M. Meh...

I had a long day.  Just not gonna be a wowzer blog, sorry.

One funny incident, though:

I was the photographer for the graduation of the Citizen's Academy.  I left home early, so I would be able to get there and help with set up.

I hit every red light from the house to the Sheriff's Office.

Ok, still going to be there 5 minutes early.

Turned the last corner before the SO, and there was a truck almost jackknifed in the street.  It was trying to get into one of the local businesses, but the truck entrance is for a smaller trucks.  This was a biiiig truck.  I watched, and he went back, and forth, over the curb, back, up over the curb, tried to back up, nearly nailed a truck that went around WHILE HE WAS BACKING, and so on.

I watched.  There was no safe way to turn around.  I was stuck.

Finally, he was able to back up, and I arrived about 10 minutes late.  First boss saw me, "Did you bring your camera?"

Yep.

The second boss, looking concerned, "Did you bring a camera, I didn't."

Yep, have it...

The Sheriff saw me walking in, and piped up, "Okay, we can start, the paparazzi is here!"

Heh...
