Leftover From Monday--In KiffieScope

Mum and I go to Morristown for a shopping jaunt...

MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yay! Vroom!

And it went pretty well in spite of lousy weather until, as we've just gotten back to Jeff City...

ME: Police Car coming the opposite direction...looks like a funeral procession.

MUM: Looks like a big one too.

MOONSHINE: Stop and freeze!

And it was a long one. The Hearse had American flags on the fenders, so it might have been a public official or a veteran or a war casualty.

Then about two-thirds into that--

SIRENS behind us!

ME: Ambulance!

MOONSHINE: Collision Alert! Evasive Action! VROOM!

And very deftly we clear out of our lane, cross the red-lighted intersection without incident (no opposing traffic), and allow the vehicles behind us to clear the way for the Ambulance.

MOONSHINE: Stop and freeze!

Luckily for us the procession was almost all past once the Ambulance had gotten past us, and we were able to get back into position for a left turn at the end of that block as my initial plan.

MUM: Good work there!

ME (thought): It takes two.

MOONSHINE: You betcha.

Writer's Block: Heavenly Bodies
