I turned off the TV last night after the kids had gone to bed. Cari and I were sitting and enjoying the rare moment of quiet. We started talking about what else was going on around town on such a quiet night.
I loaded up a scanner radio application on my phone and tuned into the local police scanner. It turns out it wasn't that quiet after all. There was non-stop chatter on the scanner.
My favorite of the night was a suspect, of what I don't know, in Wal-Mart. I just know it was a female carrying a cow-print purse. The police department tried to reach Wal-Mart by phone and nobody answered the phone. Maybe cow-print purse wasn't descriptive enough.
I was tempted to drive over to Wal-Mart and handle the situation. Instead Cari suggested we stay and listen for the next report. Five minutes later I was suggesting that we head over to the Title Loan store and see what the two guys in a white truck were doing.
That's when Cari told me that listening to the scanner radio was not a way to get ideas for going out. It was just for listening.
Oh! I was listening alright. Do you think I didn't pick up how excited Cari was about that cow print purse? I'm thinking Christmas! I'll have the scanner on again tomorrow to see if they have any ideas what I should get my mom.
