Friends,
I had heard on the radio that the Sheriff’s Department would like for motorists to call 911 if they see any rock slides, which I did on the way to work (not in my lane, thankfully). If my ancient Motorola feature phone had been able to obtain a signal at the point of the slide, I would’ve reported it there, but no such luck. Once I did get a signal, I pulled over and called the helpful and not at all twitchy 911 operator.
“How big are the rocks?” she eventually asked. “About the size of a German Shepherd,” was my helpful reply. Then a long pause…
“What?”
