re: #313 Anymouse

My calendar may say 2017, but my state screams 1957, so you’re good.

I was through there during May of 1980… that’s a flat state! I was hitchhiking across the country after deciding that staying in Spokane, WA after Mt. St. Helens had coated it wasn’t an option and upstate NY was looking pretty good (family there). Had fun trying to avoid breathing mosquitoes at a park near Grand Island, rolling joints using a Frisbee as a tray while hauling ass as a passenger in the back of a 68 GTO on back roads through cornfields near Beatrice and discovering what Nebraska No-High was as I was leaving the state (saw it growing next to the Interstate and asked). During the cornfield run in the GTO, a duck that was startled flew up from the side of the road and bounced off of the windshield at 80 MPH, upper left corner, and it didn’t break it.

My comment while watching the duck ricochet off of the car and endo through the air had everyone choking with laughter, “I don’t think they normally fly that way.”

Oh yeah, where do you live? Because the few cops I know here in Vegas are dim bulbs, and I can see them thinking the same.

Oregon… Brookings, right on the border. If Oregon goes the wrong way, I has options! :)
