2:00 AM Wakeup Call

So last night, or early this a.m. technically, the phone rings. Of course I BOLT out of bed because the phone never rings at 2:00 a.m. It’s a reverse 911 call . . . apparently some really nice guy from New Mexico kidnapped a woman and drove the 5 hours to my city . . . they found his car about 2 miles from my house. They consider him armed and dangerous, even though they haven’t found the guy yet.

So yay for the call . . . nice gesture. Not yay for the 2:00 a.m. part of it . . . the time on the recording? 11:04 p.m. Really, it took 3 hours for the computer to call my house? I would guess the phone system could call more than one number at a time. And even if it couldn’t, my last name starts with B, so I’m near the beginning. I feel for the Zeldingers of the world; they’ll probably get a call around 3:00 TONIGHT!

Of course we got an email from school saying they’re on a category 1 controlled lockdown . . . meaning none of the kids can go outside unless accompanied by their parent or to get on/off a bus today. Needless to say, Dude stayed in the car at the bus stop until the bus came (it was raining anyway) and I’ll be bolting out of work early today to get home before the bus so he doesn’t have to walk home with some freak on the loose!

    Wow–creepy! I don’t even have the ringer on on the phone in our room, so I would not have gotten the phone call. I guess now that Anja’s in her own room I could turn it back on. I would hate to not be informed…

    Oh, I thought it might be Bill or Hillary trying to call you to sway the vote.

    Nevermind, they call and answer phones at 3 am.

    [...] when the search for freaky guy was suspended without any resolution. The guy vanished and nobody’s seen or heard from him. [...]
