We had a very enjoyable four hours tonight at another Burger King car show. We took both cars but of course the squad car received the most attention of the two. One gentleman stopped by and told me he had lived in Nashville for quite a while and he had been a member of the TAGRWC there. He said his chapter had a bus that they would use to travel around in and they had all the episodes on tape so they would watch them. I was going to write down his name, but then I was approached by another group and by the time they left I had forgotten his name. Perhaps he sounds familiar to some of you from the Nashville area. He said he isn't a member now.
While sitting out in front reading last night a lady came by and was walking with her mother who was using a walker. Right in front of me they quickly turned around and headed back. I stood up and said, "Miss, you just made an illegal U turn and I could give you a ticket for that." They really laughed. I was not in uniform so I seriously considered running up to them yelling "Citizen's Arrest, Citizen's Arrest", but I wasn't sure if they would grasp the meaning and I didn't want to scare them. Our county is having a big open house and tours this weekend for the new courthouse/jail addition, and would you believe they haven't invited the Mayberry Guru to attend. I would think that would have been a nice addition to their day having the old squad car sitting out with the new ones and having old Barney Boy serve as a greeter. But I think I have shared with you how our city police officers are rather unfriendly to my character. I bet if I were in a small town it wouldn't happen. So guess I will go on the tour in plain clothes. But my suit has small white stripes, so not sure if that would be plain enough to wear. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
