On the way back we drove by Fresh Market and Robynn brought up an incident I had completely forgotten. One day we were in the store and some kind of fight broke out. I don&#8217;t really remember the details but Robynn remembers me getting the people to leave the store.<\/p>\n<p>She said &#8220;You&#8217;re always doing stuff like that. Jumping into fights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s true but there have been a few times that come to mind. One time we were at another grocery store and two teens were yelling and shoving eachother. I got out of my car and asked them if everything was all right. They immediately stopped fighting, assured me that everything was, and promptly left.<\/p>\n<p>Another time I was driving on the highway and noticed a car weaving lazily in and out of traffic. The driver appeared drunk so I called 911, followed the car and helped coordinate the police to box him in. <\/p>\n<p>In the last 5 years I&#8217;ve probably called 911 on at least two dozen occasions. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;There&#8217;s a car on fire across the street from me.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;There&#8217;s a dead deer on the middle of the road.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I just kicked several kids off my lawn for smoking pot.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I just pulled up on a bloody accident. Where is it? Across the lawn from the hospital, better hurry, or not.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;That dead deer is back again.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apparently I&#8217;m action (or at least call and whine) prone. Really, I guess I&#8217;m a little of proud. But lest you think my ego is completely unchecked here&#8217;s the last time I jumped into action.<\/p>\n<p>I was home at lunch and taking a nap in bed. Suddenly, a strange and loud noise woke me. I jumped to my feet to hear my toilet boiling. Actually it wasn&#8217;t boiling, it was spewing gas into the house.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NDF1iw1dwJI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What would you do? If you answered freak out, call 911 and prepare for evacuation then you and I are a lot alike.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out your toilet shooting gas out of it is no cause for alarm. It just means they&#8217;re cleaning the sewers. <\/p>\n<p>But common, wouldn&#8217;t you freak out?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Robynn took me out to dinner at our favorite spot, Communal.
