**I copied this from my post on Facebook. This may be an indication that I am
experiencing some NC withdrawal. But then again, i'd've done the same thing
if I was on my NC**
Free beer bonanza today at the traffic light in Hale!
I was headed to Kochers (local grocery store) when I stopped for the light and noticed many beer cans strewn throughout the intersection. At first I assumed they were "empties" and had blown out of the back ot someone's truck. A closer look revealed some...-No! many were still full!
"How did this happen?" I thought briefly, but then I realized "Who cares? Its time to act!" I quickly pulled into the Marathon station and headed for the suds in need of rescue.
Time was of the essence. Many of the beers had already fallen prey to the callous tires of unfocused drivers. It was like doing triage in a disaster area. Which ones were still viable? That one looks full, but does it have a pinhole rendering it unfit for rescue? Then there were the ones that were squashed flat...their sudsy contents laid out, -already frozen on the cold pavement in a v-pattern. There was nothing I could do for these misfortunates.
I tried to keep an eye on traffic as I made my hasty assessment of each prospective can. After I had done all I could, I headed back to my truck, pockets full of beer. I'm enjoying some now as I type
