Trash Throwers
Just had some idiots in a car throw some trash at me while on a ride this afternoon. Fortunatley I was able to dodge the two items they threw out. It was done on purpose with the intent of trying to cause bodily harm. I was lucky enough to get there license plate number and a description of the car. Called it in to the local police department and they sent an officer out to take my information.
Not sure how much can be done in this situation but I felt I needed to do something. We all know what the outcome could have been. Incidents like this has happened to me before but the vehicle was going in the opposite direction so I let it go since they missed me with the bottle. This time I had enough.
Okay, rant over. Just be careful out there. If they are not trying to run us over they are throwing things at us.

Okay, I will clarify trash. One bottle on the first try to take me out and another bottle in a brown bag on the second try. I was not armed with anything buy my ability to get out of the way and the common sense to get the license plate number. I did not idily stand by, I took evasive action and memorized the license plate number at the same time (pretty good for someone in their late 60's would you say). Worked for me.LOL

Wow!! Glad they didn't hit you!!
I've never had that happen. Maybe because I look just stupid enough
to shoot back. Hehe. I don't know. Must've been kids. Kids do dumb things.
So what did the cop say about it??
