Day 8 Evening
Well Last night nded up being a bit of crazy night. After dinner several of us went out for drink. For those of you who know my tendency for fruity foo foo drinks, Missoula is not the best place for me to go drinking! The bars here aren’t reealy well stocked for foo foo.
But we did find a bar, and I manage a concoction. Poor Alison got a bottle of wine, that had pssed and wound up just being disappointed byt he bar.
On our way back from the by, Scott, Alison and I were walking over the bridge when some guy on a bike road up in the lanes of traffic, wound up jumping the guardrail and started kicking and beating this walker up. Right in front of us. It was one of those things where you don’t really want to get involved, but then you see someone is really getting hurt and so you do jump in to help the guy. It was weird and biker man jumped rode off while walker man gave me his phone and I called 911 for him. Calling 911 when you are from out of town is somewhat ineffective.
Because the call went something like this.
911: Hello 911
Me: Hi, some guy walking in front of me just go beat up.
911: where are you?
Me: I don’t know, I am from out of town. I am on a bridge over some river. Maybe Hilkins street or hinkins road.
911: Higgins Strret?
Me: Oh yeah I think so.
At this point the 911 operator realized I was less than helpful and asked if the victim was consicous and could talk. I was happy to give the phone back to him. The 3 of us wound up staying for a bit and watching the sunset and filing a police report.
The cop was some sort of geography genius. When giving our addresses, I said Chandler and the cop knew that was Arizona. Alsion, gave Henderson and again the cop knew it was Nevada, without even blinking or having to think about it. Scott then was like final Jeopardy. Could the cop get it and go for the clean sweep... He missed the small upstate California city, but for a moment there is was very odd.
Getting back to the dorm, several of the wilder, young kids decided to go sleep up on the “M” mountain. I declined. It sounded fun, but with my achilles started to flare up I realy didn not want to climb a mountain in the dark. and it left me in a room without my roommate so I got a good nights sleep.
Don't forget to leave a comment. I really look forward to hearing from everyone.
