Today was a bit of an interesting day. I had to go up to my Peterborough office this morning to do a couple of counselling sessions and an interview. The interview was late showing up. The guy owns two recent model vehicles but since he decided to drive his old beater vehicle and it didn’t start then it was ok to show up late… grrrrr.

Anyways, I ended up not getting away from Peterborough until just after 1pm and was supposed to be at a lenten discovery group in Colborne by 2pm. Time to fly slightly low.. and bloody fast.

I’m booting it along the 401 and a cruiser comes flying up behind me lights aflashing. I figured I’d been nailed but he flew on past me and headed on east. Whew!!

As I whip along the county road towards home I get the headlights flashed at me warning of a cop ahead… so.. needless to say.. I slow down. Just round the curve, and I discover 1 cruiser with a car pulled over and 3 more sitting in front of my neighbour’s barn. I pull into the house, pick up the book I need for the discovery group and head off.

A couple of hours later, I return to find one cruiser at my neighbour’s and a chopper circling overhead. Now I’m concerned that a bad guy is hanging about and that is who they are searching for. So.. doors got locked real quick.

Not long after several cruisers, marked and unmarked, pull and park along the road by my place, right across my driveway. A friend who was the phone at the time suggested I should go out and ask if that means I can’t grow pot there anymore. Didn’t try that stunt for some reason.

Turns out they were looking for a young runaway from a foster home just south of me. She was apparently found just before dark which was good since it was going to be a rather cool night out. Haven’t heard if she is ok or what is going to become of her. We only get a local paper once a week.
