Well, I got "the call"! I fly (volunteer) for the Highlands County Sheriffs Dept., to fly their airplane -when needed-. So at about 2pm today, after I had just put the turkey in the oven, the phone rings and it's the Sheriff's Dept. They have some run aways, they want to do an airial search...

So I figure it will maybe take 1-2 hours, the turkey will still be in the oven, no worries. So I grab my stuff and I'm out the door for what turns into a 4+ hour ordeal, ended only by darkness.

The amazing thing was we actually found 2 of the 3 run- aways. Two 15 yr. old girls who ran away from a half way home last night, they had made it about 30 miles north on rt. 27 when I saw them. They sent a car to pick them up.

They are still out searching for number 3, using a helicopter with an IR system. By the time I got home of course the turkey was long over done, put away in the fridge, so it was cold left overs for me and the wife was more than a little PO'd that I answered that phone, and ruined the meal she worked so hard on.

Never fails. At least we found 2 of 3.
