day 11269: i interrupt this program with something a little more serious and a whole lot more scary
Late Saturday night, ICBBQ and I were driving through the Sketchnex on the way home from the country bar when we encountered a couple of teenage punk kids running in and out of traffic, weaving amongst the oncoming cars. They were shouting at each other and other pedestrians were yelling at them.
I drove slowly, knowing that sooner or later, they would stagger intoxicated into my path. One kid ran in front of my car. I braked hard to avoid the one running after him and thumped a long angry blast of my horn.
As our car crept by the kid I almost hit, I looked at him, and saw out of the corner of my eye that he was holding a knife... I did a double take. Sure enough, the guy was holding a knife and running after someone. Scary.
ICBBQ called 911, told them what we saw, and I drove away.

OMG...he was holding a knife? He wasn't brandishing it at you, was he?
Those darn kids..
Brandishing... good word. I couldn't think of it when I was writing this. But no, it wasn't at us. It was at the guy he was running after.
