I got another rousing reminder of just where I am located.
First, I must describe the situation. Me, Bokwisha (formerly Hasina), Shanaenae, and Lakwisha (all roommates) went to have some fun climbing the butte west of town. Me and Bokwisha hiked in front and had an enjoyable time climbing around on the rocks and watching "The Emperor's New Groove" on a little ledge overlooking the valley. The best part of the evening was watching Shanaenae and Lakwisha hike down early by themselves and take a wrong turn that added 2-3 extra miles to their course. We could just barely see them from the top but couldn't tell them. It took them about 45 minutes to get down while me and Bokwisha ran down in less than 12. It made me want to do an adventure race.
Anyways, back to business. After climbing the butte, we decided the night was still young and stopped at Beaverdick park on our way back into town. After jumping into the river and swimming around for a bit, we caught sight of a HUGE bonfire and decided to join the group and dry off. Little did we realize that the cops were there fining the young pyrotechnic. A few seconds later a firetruck shows up to extinguish the blaze. They were nice enough to give him the honors though.
But honestly, calling a firetruck and crew of 5 firefighters to extinguish a bonfire? It must have been a really slow night at the station because the bonfire was big, but not THAT big. It's just funny to me: ticketing people for jay-walking to church, calling the fire department to extinguish a blaze in a fire-approved area, etc. I really do love this town!
It was a great night filled with memories. I like making my own fun!
Have a great day :)

Wow, i'm glad i didn't have such a chaotic mess at my bonfire... yet we did get in trouble for it... oh well, we got off easy
Well listen to this: This guy that comes into the office, I'll call him Peter (can't reveal his real name--HIPAA law, ya know)got pulled over b/c the motorcycle cop said Peter was throwing rocks at him with his tires. What is this world coming to? Firefighters at a sand dunes bonfire, crazy policemen getting rocks thrown at them by tires, what a life. Haha! I thought it was amusing...
