So, I saw a funny news story today in the Star Tribune. Apparently, Saturday night one of the Vulcans from the Vulcan Krewe of the St. Paul Winter Carnival backed their "Royal Chariot" into a parked car and then into a retaining wall. People tried to stop him, asking that he leave his insurance information and instead he sped off!! Did he really think someone wasn't going to recognize the one of a kind antique fire truck that says "Vulcan Krewe" across the side and in St. Paul no less?
Apparently, the St. Paul PD was called and they found the truck abandoned in an alley behind Alaray's Bar later that night. When the investigators spoke to the truck's registered owner he said he thought he hit ICE!? HA And that he didn't recall people asking him to leave his insurance information. Hmm... $20 says the guy was drunk?
It's too bad though, its not the kind of press the Winter Carnival is looking for on their 125th Anniversary. Especially, since this isn't the first time the Vulcans have been in trouble in the last few years. Not too long ago I remember a story about a sexual harassment suit, seems like a few of these guys have been smoking a little too much fire and brimstone.
The ups and downs of buying and owning your first home...
...rescuing a basset, living in the city, working in corporate America, stealing time for ourselves...
...the list goes on and on.
