the day in creek county...

so, i stayed late tonight for work. i had a late visit in the middle of nowhere in creek county. it was a 7 appointment...which is pretty late, plus i missed american idol. so, on the way out there i saw a herd of goats escaping their fence. i drove about a half a mile past it and i felt like i should go around and tell the family in the house. i turned around. knocked on the door. they weren't there, so i left a note saying the following "the goats were escaping. i thought you would want to know." on to my visit now....i turn off by the lake exit...and drive to find the house. find the house, they forgot i was coming. crap. now i'm all the way out here and am missing american idol for nothing. darn. on the way back i realize it smells like smoke and i see a fire. it's only on one side of the road, so i drove by it. it was there for several blocks...in the middle of the country, and there were houses. i proceed to call 911 because it's the only number i know. i am then transferred from fire department to fire department and they finally tell me they are on their way. i never saw fire trucks on the highway on my way home. i hope they got out there. i hope no one was hurt. what a day!
