I just drove home from work, feeling rather tired and thinking I’d go to bed relatively early tonight. As I passed the back entrance to the school campus, I had my eyes peeled since I’d seen deer on my way into work along this road. Just before I reached the top of the hill, though, I heard sirens coming towards me on the other side of the road, and I pulled over immediately.
Up over the hill comes not one, not two, but three emergency vehicles, lights flashing, sirens wailing, horns blaring, and I thought perhaps Armageddon was starting.
Then came a school bus.
And another fire truck.
And dozens of cars flashing lights and honking horns.
Apparently, one of the high school sports team just won a major event tonight. I’ve heard these escorts from afar (well, I live like two streets over from the school, so maybe not so far) but never actually seen one in progress. It was overwhelming.
And so now I’m really wide awake. Adrenalin sucks. (And I didn’t see any deer, which is good, because I felt like a deer in headlights myself.) Guess I’ll go find something good on TV and knit for a while…
