My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. |
| My wife called this afternoon from work, but I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. It turned out she had forgotten her cell phone at home and had called from her work phone. She left a message letting me know she needed me to bring her phone since she has to use it to clock in and out. I dropped what I was doing, got ready, and drove in. I decided to fill up a couple of water jugs (our water isn't the best for drinking or coffee, so we refill 3 and 5-gallon water bottles) and pick up a few things since I would be in town. I brought the dogs with me since it was another nice day. They love to ride with, but if it's too hot or too cold, they have to stay home. We went to my wife's work first and dropped off her phone. Then I drove over to the store. My first stop was the water fill station, and while I was filling up water bottles, a woman about my age came over and just stood there watching me. I said, "Hi." No answer, she just stood there, no cart, no nothing, just watching me. Next, I went to the meat counter to get some ground beef, and this woman followed me, staying about ten feet behind me. Next was the diary section, and again she followed. I started to walk over toward her, but she turned and hurried away. I returned to my job of gathering a few items, but noticed she was still following. Only now, she was being a bit more discreet. I almost broke out in laughter when I saw her peeking at me from the frozen food aisle. I went to the self-checkout since I only had a few items, and she stood and watched from the pharmacy section. When I would look, she would turn her attention to the shelf. I bagged my items, paid for them, and walked out to my truck. I noticed as I was loading my stuff in the back of the truck that she had also exited the store. I hurried and left while she was walking across the parking lot, and I thought I had lost my tail. But when I stopped at the stoplight, I realized she was in the vehicle right behind me. She stayed right behind me as I drove out of town and headed for home. By this time, I was feeling a bit paranoid and drove past my house and into the next town, where the sheriff's office is located. I turned into the parking lot of the sheriff's office and noticed she followed me. I pulled up just as a deputy walked out and waved him over. I explained to him how this woman was following me and asked if he could find out what she wanted. He said he would, then started walking toward her car. As soon as he did, she baked up and sped off at a pretty high rate of speed. But her luck wasn't good; she almost slammed into a sheriff's vehicle that was turning in. Being blocked now, she started to back up, but got over too far and backed into the snow bank just off the parking lot. She got stuck. They put her in the back of the sheriff's vehicle, and then he came and told me it would be a good time for me to drive home, because she wouldn't be following anyone for a while. He did have me explain everything in detail, got my name, address, and phone number, and then sent me on my way. I received a call about an hour later from the deputy. The woman was being held for stealing a car out of the store parking lot. To my understanding, someone had left their car running while they ran inside, and when she saw I was leaving, she jumped in and "borrowed" it. When asked why she was following me, she said she wasn't. The deputy also told me that she seemed to be confused. |
