I've had a few weird things happen as well. Just last year I was getting on the freeway in a rural area. Saw a mini-van down in the ditch off the ramp. Stopped on the side, went down and found a nice youg man trying to jack it up to change a tire (broke the bead when he slid off the ramp, probably going too fast for the cloverleaf design of the ramp). Anyway, I told him to hold on, it will be easier to change up on the shoulder, backed my 4x4 pickup in front of him and was on my back hooking up a chain underneath his front end when I heard "howdy, what's going on?"
It was a State Trooper. Looking up I explained I was just helping to change a tire. Young man didn't say much. I kept hooking up the chain. Trooper said "Stop and get up", which I did. He went right over to the young man, asked him if he was armed ("No"), started to frisk him and I MEAN FRISK HIM. My wife hasn't touched me like that in a while. :wink:
Asked him if he'd been in jail ("Yes sir, out on parole for B & E"). At this point my jaw kind of dropped. Asked him when the last time he smoked weed. "Few days ago". Another jaw drop. He asked if he could search the car. "Yes, sir". Trooper reached in, came right back out with a little metal box of mints, opened it and there was some weed. Another jaw drop. Told the boy to turn around get down on his knees and he cuffed him. I asked if he wanted me to pull the mini-van up on the shoulder and he said "No, that car's mine now, you can go and have a nice day".
The whole episode took like 5 minutes, but that was the weirdest thing and the most psychic trooper I've ever seen. I could have been a serial killer for all he knew, but he zoomed right in on this nice, polite young man and pegged him. I often wonder what the legal outcome of that was.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
