Oops, I Did It Again
so here's a story from the allied sign builders archives. we'll just call the instigator of unhappy circumstances "bill."
dale (mr boss man at allied) was working in the office, when the big diesel crane truck came into the drive. a moment later bill comes in white faced. he looked really scared, like he was in shock or something. dale of course was not a little alarmed and stood up with concern, "what's the matter bill??"
"i hit a guy with the sign truck!"
"well, what happened?"
"he was riding his bicycle and he road accross the road just as i was turning in. i was going pretty fast and hit him hard. he rolled onto the hood, over the cab, and into my load of sand in the back!"
"oh no! is he ok??"
"i don't know!"
"didn't you check and see?!?"
"i got out and went back there to see, but he jumped up with a wild look in his eyes and got back on his bicycle! he road away furiously shouting "DON'T CALL THE LAW! DON'T CALL THE LAW!..."

Whaaaaa?
I guess if you hit someone whose got a warrant it's okay?
P.S. Thanks for your little note-you are the sweetest thing...and I appreciate your prayers! See you in 4 weeks or so...
Oooookay. That was pretty weird. ('_')
Hey, thanks again for the great references on violin music. I haven't had a chance (Okay...haven't had the spare ca$h - house note comes first, unfortunately) to check them out yet, but I did have another question in the meantime:
Do you know of anyone (classical or modern composer, not finicky here) who does the very haunting, mournful style of violin? Just violin is preferable; I don't need an entire orchestra. Wish I had an example, but I can't think of anything!
Thanks!
hey, it's true guys! and no, it doesn't make it "ok," it's just funny that the guy didn't care about being hit by a truck. alright, maybe it isn't funny.
let me think about that, i'll try to come up with a good artist for that style of playing.
Hah, nice. I want to run into a criminal some time.
OK, maybe not. And maybe he didn't want the law for some more legal reason. ;)
