Yeah, be careful about there on the road, that folks going home from work that boy, they're going to run over you.
00:07
I got mad, it don't normally get terrible until about 4.30 or 5 o'clock.
00:12
And from 5 to 6 it's pretty bad, but if I can get back home by 5, I'll be all right.
00:20
Yeah, I haven't done much of anything today.
00:23
Just the dog out several times and walked him out in the big backyard.
00:29
So he's in his lounge chair in the living room.
00:38
Put a sheet over, so...
00:41
Yeah, too, that kitty cat, he's just bound him a sleeping spot up under something.
00:47
That's how they are.
00:48
They stay wide open till they pass out for a little while.
00:52
He's in the room asleep.
00:54
I only saw, I wasn't in there very long, but I only saw one cap, I hadn't even seen the dog.
01:02
Of course I didn't look for any of them.
01:03
I had six packages to grab and get them six on the truck and take off and swing by the store on the way home so.
01:15
I don't know.
01:16
I wasn't even worried about it.
01:17
I'll check on when I get home, but it probably didn't help, but when he jumped on the bed, I started rubbing his belly, and that's when he started attacking me.
01:25
I got to learn better than to do that.
01:28
Long ways from that, I'm over here, Lexington Road in Gaines School,
01:34
I think it's the name of the road,
01:35
headed toward the Ten Loop.
01:38
I used to live over at closest.
01:39
I used to live over in Willow Run and I'd get off right there when I was going home and work.
01:47
If I was working up around Vanda area that day.
01:52
Yep, they're wild out there on that, pop-pass, let me tell you.
01:56
They wantkin out there too, building a bridge over the river.
02:01
That's two out there already.
02:03
Three out there already.
02:04
The old bridge, Jordan Bridge, Newton Bridge.
02:08
And then they built two more on the fire pass, now they tore one up and down on the fire pass and rebuilding it.
02:15
So, I don't know,
02:16
they keep a mess up there on that firepass all the doggone time.
02:20
And people don't pay attention, they just fly them down that road, over.
02:25
Probably got tangled up out there in that traffic around, uh,
02:29
around, uh, around all out there on the bypass.
