Day 17. Barney is on the prowl!

I was cruising along today, when like a bolt from the blue a Liberty County sheriff;ie, Barney Fife was coming west on US 2, did an immediate U-turn, with lights flashing, came up behind me. I thought he was after some unsuspecting motorist. It was me! Surprise!
I stopped, Barney gets out of his truck, loaded his one bullet,and walked up to me, with trembling hand on gun and says-are you ready?-sir, you are in violation of Montana law 5381267489321.002 section 4350,and subsection 2. I almost asked to see the bullet, but quickly thought better of that when I saw his glaring eyes. 
At any rate there was a shoulder and I was not on it;therefore, I was dutifully instructed to obey the law in the future, which I agreed to do. As he pulled away, I asked "where is the nearest donut shop. 
That is all that I remember

  1. Old Mexican proverb: He who has one bullet and a gun should only be feared when he also has a beer (or six).
