Police Chase at Lunchtime

A co-worker and I were heading to lunch today, coming up on a bypass where a car flew past us so quickly that it literally shook my car. My immediate thought was "What an @$$hole!"

Then I saw the police lights in my rear-view mirror and was happy I was in the far left lane and stopped so he could zoom past as well. This particular bypass is facing a downhill to a dip and then the uphill side. My coworker and I got a great view of the speeding white car weaving around the other cars like they were standing still, sometimes speeding into the opposing traffic head-on and back into the correct lane. The cop was doing pretty darn well too, getting around the cars to keep up with him.

It was a pretty odd sight to see a police chase in action. Both of us was convinced that we were about the watch the resisting car slam into some other car, telephone pole, or gas station.

However, the light changed and we had to get on to lunch.

Strangely, once we got settled to eat lunch, we didn't talk about it at all. I keep looking at the local news to see if there is a news report on it, but I haven't seen anything yet.

And people say Mondays aren't exciting.

Kramer Visits

So texwriterbear came a visiting the weekend before last. We had a great time, hitting some of the fun bits of Cincinnati, some of which were a bit off the beaten track. I'm sure he has better photos than I do of it. We went to dinner with _decibel_, kybigstew, cincycub, and Brian's partner Justin on Saturday night on the Ohio River, then hit Graeter's for ice cream on Fountain Square, then hit a retro arcade bar called 16-bit, and then late night drinks.

Sunday was Big Bone Lick State Park, brunch, a long stint at the American Sign Museum, and dinner. We were beat I think when we got it all done.

Here are a few of the photos, most at the American Sign Museum. I finally got around to pulling them off my phone tonight.
