We had a kind of comedy of errors in Fox Valley recently that led to the successful arrest of a wanted man.
Police had discovered a stolen vehicle by our sodium sulfate plant and searched the building to find the man who had driven it there. They discovered a number of stolen articles in the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Ron B. was driving from his farm to town with his wife and daughter in the vehicle, when they came upon a lone and rather desolate man in the rain. They thought maybe his vehicle had broken down, and they offered him a ride to town, which he gladly accepted. While they were driving along, Larry H. from town phoned Ron to mention that there was a wanted man named _____ on the loose somewhere in the neighbourhood of their farm and would they please keep a look out for him. Ron said "We just picked up a guy. What's the name of the man they want?" Larry said, "It's Larry _____". So Ron turned around and asked the man in the back seat what his name was. (does this seem like a good idea to you?) He said, "Larry." Then Ron said to Larry H., "Can you please call the police?" Larry said, "Okay, just take him to the Valley O." ( local restaurant) Ron dropped the wanted man off at the Valley O and warned Audrey, the manager, who was there all alone, "Keep him here until the police arrive - he's wanted." So Audrey took a long time cooking his dinner, then sat down and made small talk with him until the police arrived. The police came after a while, handcuffed him and searched him and discovered a gun.
The only thing we can figure is that "Larry" must have been so desperate to go home (jail) that he acquiesced in all this. Now that it's all over and no one was hurt, we laugh.

O Folio!

A few blogs ago, I was doing some advertising for the excellent trivia quiz 4marks.com puts out every Monday. I'm here to mention they also have a wonderful "facebook" called "folio." It seems to be very much like facebook in every way except for the sometimes bothersome images that pop up (on facebook, I mean.) My boys were running into problems of that sort with facebook occasionally, so we decided to cancel. Folio is great! Except that none of you are on there yet, so we can't visit so well. So, come on over and check it out. 4marks.com/folio
