On the List

Drove husband to airport. Along the way we notice several police cars pulled to the side of the road, lights flashing, officers with machine guns. We then noticed a helicopter circling. As we drove past the prison we notice a news crew filming the prison.

Using our incredibly nimble brains we deduced that there must have been a recent prison break. Which I later confirmed via the good ole Internet.So on the way to the airport we drove through a gantlet of machine guns.

As I was driving home. I made it back threw the gauntlet, no escaped convicts tried to jump in my car while I was going 70 on the highway. It really should be illegal to drive after taking cold medicine. Phone rang, Jeff- come back to pick me up flight delayed 7 hours.

Exit, enter the other way, back threw the gantlet of machine guns. Back to the airport. Jeff comes out to the car and informs me that he and his fellow travelers are going to drive instead of fly. Turns out driving the 10 hours to San Antonio takes less time than flying, even without a delay. Get back on freeway and drive back threw the gantlet of machine guns. I am beginning to worry that they might be writing down my license plate number and putting me on a watch list.
