my lunch break
Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 08:26AM 
Yesterday I'm out and about, running a few errands and my last stop was at the Hometown Deli to pick up an assorted italian sub with l&t, provolone cheese, NO onions, light on the mayo and italian dressing.
I'm standing at the counter and there's a really loud thump/crash. My first thought, since it's Spring, was "there goes another big lump of snow/ice letting go from the roof." However, that thought was interrupted by loud exclamations of "Oh my god, they hit your car." Hustling outside and sure enough, there was my car pushed about 6 feet forward from where it had been parked, knocking over a cedar post in the process.
There were 2 women yelling and pointing down the road, "there he goes". The SUV was far enough away that we could not read the plate number but we got a good description so it was into the deli and a call to the State Police - we have no village police. In the deli, the proprietor blurted out, "that guy was stinking drunk". And sure enough, when the SP caught the guy - 20 miles way in another village - he was, in fact, very stinking drunk.
Eventually, I went home and ate my assorted italian sub with l&t, provolone cheese, NO onions, light on the mayo and italian dressing.
