So I was thinking of other interesting or fun stories to share. Not just "yes there was this location in Walker Creek, this is what I remember, the end" because I know y'all are bored out of your minds sitting through that. So I'll try to share actual stories and memories for a while. I thought of this one because I saw a cop car while I was driving to the store, so here goes. This story happened around 1973. We were still recovering from the town going bankrupt and everything had kinda gone to shit. I remember I was driving out to the edge of town to a farm to buy something, since it's cheaper if you go directly to the farmer, just a pain in the ass though. Anyway, while I was driving I saw something out of the corner of my eye, this deer I guess. It looked pretty close to one anyway. It charged towards me so I had to swerve and speed up to try to get away from that thing. Pretty unluckily for me, a Walker Creed police car was coming the other direction as soon as I did that. Suddenly, sirens on, police car turns onto my side of the road, all that stuff. I pulled over, handed over everything they asked for, and they asked why I swerved. I told them there was a deer. They asked me if I was sure it was a deer and what exactly I saw. Guess they thought I was drunk, but I did their test and they knew I wasn't. Took em a few minutes but eventually they let me go. It wasn't surprising, the WCPD kinda just roamed aimlessly through the county, there wasn't much crime or anything to be on the lookout for so they just waited around until they saw something. I'm lucky they let me go without trying to charge me, but they believed my story so that worked out in the end. I never really dealt with the police besides that one time, which was a pretty damn scary time if I do say so myself.
