Sitting at my desk looking out the window, a truck with a trailer turns the corner and out comes a horse sliding backwards on his butt! Once he got on his feet, he runs about 400 yrd to the nearest intersection. The goucho's in the truck, drive another half a block before realizing said horse is on the lam. Now, they jump out of their truck, ropes in hand, traffic backed to the next intersection and everyone that is anywhere close is chasing this horse! Yipeee, we got us a rodeo in downtown, Athens, Tx. The horse has managed to run behind the local Chevy dealer and half of our community is on the chase. Damn, I love living in a small town. Ok, running up the road in front of my business, three guys on foot still swinging the ropes over their head............as if they could throw that loop half a block, duh! Oh my, there is another horse still in the trailer parked in the middle of the road, "close the gate, fool", one of my employees shouts!! Horse is now headed back the other way, as the now dozens of wantabe cowboys, try herding this poor equine. Now for the best part..........police sirens are now sounding.........that will surely stop this poor horse in his tracks!! Once again, the evasive horse is headed across two more streets, of course with the ropers still swing their lariats, Geez, shoot the poor thing before someone gets hurt running up and down the street!! Finally, some poor soul walks out of their business and grab said steed, what a hero!! Folk, this is as good as it gets in my little community. Best show on earth!! Thanks for letting me share in the daily life here in the country!

Sounds like fun! Wish I could sit and look my window and have that much excitement. The best I get is watching the birds taking a bath in the sprinkler and once in a while a tractor will go by, LOL!
 
Wonder why the other critter didn't make a break for freedom? Maybe he was waiting for the first one to get caught and while everyone was busy ... Then he runs for it!

Good story ROLLERBOB. All I get to watch is my kitten dragging 'chippermonks' (as the kid next door calls them) back into MY house and releasing them. Danged kitten catches about 4-6 a day ... me, I catch about 0-1 in the house!

That reminds me, I need more .357 ammo!
 
Thats the thing with Small towns. When we first moved to Lockhart there was a large bull that was running a muck in the Walmart parking lot. Some poeple didnt even notice it. My kids loved it.
 
When I was a young , our farm neighbor had two Belgium pull horses get outside the fence and wandered off to a cornfield . We all had to go round these giants up . These are BIG horses .:eek: I was 5'5" at the time . The corn stalks were around 9' I couldn't see anything but stalks , but I could hear the hooves and snapping sounds of stalks as they were being mowed down . I didn't stay in there very long ! THEY , got the horses ! :biggrin:
 
We have a couple of teen age boys driving around in th early hours of the morning in a old pick-up truck------ just for fun the are trashing mailboxs----ours has been beaten twice in the last month.
Hope someone catchs them soon----the mailbox won't take much more of this.

Just make sure you don't fill it with concrete. I read where someone did that and the teen broke his arm hitting it and sued the homeowner and won.
 
Hey rob, leave some of those cell doors open and you can have all the rodeo you want.

Hah, my inmates are too lazy to even do anything. Of course the ratio is like 200 inmates to 1 guard so I think if they wanted to they could do anything. But our prison is so relaxed (thanks to our feel good society) that they love it better inside (must be why they keep coming back over and over again).
 
Ok, I was SURE "murder by use of a concrete mailbox" would turn up nothing.

WRONG ---Google-breath!!!


Nick and Detective Cavaliere are at the scene of a car crash, where two young men, Chase Bowman and Max Poole, are dead, apparently killed when their car crashed into a tree. Nick immediately notices something is off when he finds splinters in Chase's wound--on the opposite side of the car from the tree. Chase's arm is also broken in a way that is incongruous with the car crash. Nick views footage from the car's internal computer showing him the five seconds before the airbags deployed, which reveals that the car swerved to avoid hitting something. Hodges confirms Nick's suspicion: the splinter in Chase's arm doesn't match the wood from the tree their car hit; the splinter is from a baseball bat, leading Nick to wonder if the boys were playing mailbox baseball. Nick and Hodges play a little mailbox baseball game of their own, trying to figure out how Chase broke his arm. Nick and Cavaliere retrace the boys' route and notice a brand new mailbox at one of the houses. They question the owner, Hal Jackmin, who says his old mailbox got smashed. Nick notices a concrete walkway with one stone out of place. He turns it over and finds a mailbox with a concrete center buried beneath. Jackmin tells Nick and Cavaliere that the boys destroyed four of his mailboxes before he decided to take matters into his own hands. Nick tells him that Chase hitting the concrete mailbox caused his arm to break, and the car to swerve, killing both boys. Jackmin tries to defend himself, but Nick has him arrested for two counts of negligent homicide.
