Shortly before midnight a neighbour, that was drunker than usual, decided to express his displeasure at his wife when she tried to get away from him by seeking assylum at another neighbours house. He came tearing up the road in a small pick-up and tried to push second neighbours larger pickup into his house. When he failed at this, (And several people started coming out of said house) he took off at a high rate of speed and almost made it back to his own house. Instead he ran off the road and ended up in a field where he proceeded to try to extricate his truck by alternately shifting from forward to reverse with a wide open throttle. This attempt ended when the engine blew up. By this time his wife had reached him and a screaming match ensued. I decided that all was back to normal and went back in my own house. About five minutes later three shots were fired in rapid succession, from his house, followed by the rest of the clip, (four more) a few seconds later. I should mention that, here in the mountains, gunfire is the normal way to celebrate New Years, Christmas, birthdays, a new baby, weddings, funerals...etc... So the Sheriff's department was less than impressed when I called to tell them of my apprehensions. They did say that they would go out when they had the time. Being as I did not hear any sirens later, I have to assume that, either he missed her, (or she, him) or this was a normal series of celebration shots. I wouldn't be suprised either way.
Happy New Year from Hillbilly land!
