Weird Happening of the Week

I was ending a short detour into Conway, MO, reflecting on a town that was so small that its library didn’t open until 1 PM.  I failed to notice the city policeman sitting right on the line where the speed limit changed from snail’s pace to slow.  Naturally the red lights came on and I was soon visiting with a remarkably nice young man, who I instantly liked, regardless of his power over my financial future.  When he returned, he told me he was going to let me off with a warning (thanks!), BUT that there was a warrant for my arrest in Ste. Genevieve, MO (WHAT?!).  Even the policeman seemed surprised.  (“You didn’t look like the type that would ignore a summons”.  I think that’s a compliment?)

Long story (involving several phone calls) short:  It turned out to be a Larry D. Campbell, not Larry N. Campbell (me), but it was an interesting half-hour.  I’ve never (knowingly) been a fugitive from justice before!
