Tales From the New World #17…”Close Encounters”

It’s no surprise that here in Florida a lot of cars and SUVs are white…mine is and so was the one parked next to it. In a frantic morning, packages in hand, I hurried out of the store reviewing my receipt. Opening the door ,I started getting in and heard

” You’re in the wrong car “

Balancing my packages, I repeated over and over how sorry I was until I realized the woman who was sitting in the driver’s seat was a Cop, in full outfit. Like a deer in the headlights I froze for the moment and I blurted out..

” jeeze, you can say that again! “

We looked at each other and started to laugh. She told me of a similar event that happened to her. Lucky for me she was watching me with that fog around my head. She judged no threat and took no action that might have prevented me from writing this…good judgement, good police work !
