The Story!

This is how it all went down....
Friday night was the planned business/friend/date night and we were having a couple pick us up to meet another couple at this very trendy place in Scottsdale called Saporos for Sushi (I'll admit it, there were actually a few things I almost liked). After getting home from work I held everyone up cause I was late! I hate being late! As we finally left the house we merged onto the major freeway here ( 101 ) only to land behind a mini van that was swerving back and forth across three lanes of traffic. This made me yell at Ted to phone the cops before she killed someone. We honked the horn and were having heart attacks every time she almost hit someone or a cement barricade but she wouldn't pull over. Well of course Ted is saying things like 'there she goes, she's gonna crash', then she somehow swerved at the last second saving herself. Apparently this is not what dispatchers like to hear and told Ted very, very firmly, ' Sir, please keep it to new relevant information please'. We then follow the woman off the freeway and she actually stopped at the red light where we discovered her temporary license plate was very expired. Ted asks the dispatcher, 'Should I jump into her car and stop her?? Can I make a citizens arrest??'. (Of course not!!!! Heaven only knows what she keeps trying to dig for under the seat). I think part of Ted was really liking our little chase. As soon as the light turned green, crazy lady was speeding down the street and made it two blocks before finally rear ending someone. My nurse friend and I checked on everyone and Ted reaches into crazy lady's car and takes her keys. Finally police show up and we tell them the whole story. Thank goodness the woman of the car hit was fine, just shaken up cause someone very easily could have died. The crazy lady kept reaching for something on the floor which we later saw was a crack pipe. She also had prescription drugs all over the passenger seat and had been drinking. She also had several different peoples identities and had no clue where she even was.
Crazy or what!?
Needless to say this made us very late for diner but we had a wonderful evening with friends along with a very needed extra drink for those of us not driving.

Drive safe and please, no citizen arrests.
