Kind of trapped in the neighborhood here today -- there's some stupid "Iron Man" competition going on and our subdivision is surrounded by the bicycle route! Can't get out one of our entrances and the other has a flagman there with a big back-up of cars while everyone waits for these meatheads to ride through town on their bikes.....

Good grief, just had a interesting hour. We headed to the New Walmart in town to get some Tiki Torches. I'm driving the M CLASS this week. Get half way there and come up on a policeman sitting at a cross road. We passed by him and he fell in behind us, got about 3 miles down the road and another cop got behind the first one.
We are thinking what the heck, kept going and then a detective car joined, all of a sudden the cops got on both sides and the detective In front and flipped on the lights. I immediately pulled over, all 3 jumped out of the car told me to get out.
They thought I was involved with a hit and run causing injury that happened about a hour before. They said a maroon suv was involved with left side damage. I nicely told them it wasn't us and the damage happened in November last year, the detective kept arguing that the damage is consistent with what witness' said. I pointed to the fender and said it's rusty, no way in hell it would rust in a hour, he then mouthed off saying the vehicle is clean and I could have washed it, therefore it rusted. WTF.
After being detained for 30mins and a bunch of back and forth they finally decided they had the wrong vehicle! My wife pulled out the accident report from November showing the detective and that seemed to help. Over all it was a hell of a experience

It would rain, then snow, then hail. We had better weather in the winter than we have so far this Spring.

Spent the morning at the hospital with dad. He had another small stroke, he was eating at whataburger and felt really strange. His left side went numb and couldn't talk very well. He drove himself to the ER again, parked in the parking lot and couldn't get out of the Suv. He drove up to the drop off area and was able to get someone's attention. They still think his shunt on the brain is causing the problems, but he won't consider surgery again. They released him at 8 this evening and everything seems ok, his speech is still slurred but he's ok.
