O J Simpson is at it Again

On my way home this afternoon, I was caught up in the middle of a high speed police chase!!

Boy, the excitement never ends around here!!

While driving around Atlanta on 285, I noticed a Pimped Out Escalade come flying off a ramp in excess of 100 MPH!! There was another vehicle in ITS way and the Escalade barely scrapped by in between the car and the Jersey Wall.. Once on the interstate, IT was travelling down the shoulder of the road kicking up debris (with a flat tire).. You could see it wobbling as it swerved to avoid colliding into other vehicles.. Next came the Cops (bad boy, bad boy, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?) Three of them, also in excess of 100MPH...How do I know their speed?? Well, I must admit I was doing roughly 73 and they flew past me like I was sitting still.

The Escalade darted and weaved thru traffic to the next exit and made a last second exit, closely followed by the Men In Blue!! At the rate IT was going, I expected to see that high speed roll-over when it exited!! But NO, it made the turn successfully on no more than 3 wheels... The second officer did spin out, but no harm , no foul. He was able to continue pursuit!!

And then they were gone. But I did notice the Helicopters also in pursuit!!

WOW, I am curious to know what THAT was all about, but nothing on the news yet!! DARN IT.

Funny thing, when I first saw the Escalade, my reaction was.... Just another crazy driver!! You see, there are a lot of folks who travel 285 at a high rate of fuel consumption!! Especially those on 2 wheels!!

OMG!!!

When my band Sister Kisser®™©™ was on the road this past summer, we were relaxing in our hotel room when the news switched to a live high speed chase.

We were totally mesmerized and watched the whole thing play out. They finally got the guy after like 45 minutes or so.
