Years ago Carrie’s corp job had him traveling the Southeast US a lot. He was driving a rental car in Tennessee and decided to stop in Nashville West End near Vanderbuilt University and visit his Aunt & Uncle. His Uncle was the minister at a church there. Carrie stopped at a convieance store and was asking the clerk if he knew where the church was in the cul du sac neighborhood. There was a guy in line behind him who said that he lived next to the church.

 He said, “Give me a ride home and I will show you where the church is”.

On the way he pointed out the different universities and historic buildings. They were a couple blocks away when the guy pulled a gun out. Pointed it at Carrie and demanded his money. Carrie hit the gas then the breaks. The gun went off, blowing a hole in the roof of the rented car. The car ended up in a yard. The guy jumped out and ran away.

The police called me weeks later with a guy caught who did the same thing 2 weeks later. I said, “Yup that is the $%@*(@!!!”

    We once purchased an old Italian style house. The owner was very strange to say the least. She didn’t believe in air conditioning. Said she preferred the natural humid Florida summer weather. In the living room was a huge very ugly dresser that she had covered in fabric and beads. There were 3 huge mirrors on the back side.

    We told a white lie and said that we like it too. At the closing table she told us that the dresser and mirrors was ours, since we liked it so much.  When we moved it to the curb there was a surprise for us. She had wall papered the walls around the dresser & mirror and not behind it! And behind the wall paper was a 6″ hole in the Italian plastered wall and papered over.!! LOL
