Old Joe died

 Checking the Bismarck paper today Kadizzle saw where an old welder he worked with died. These things bring back memories. Joe was 99. Cannot remember, but Joe was pissed at Kadizzle for some reason. Cannot remember the reason. However, there was a strange incident with Joe's car. 

When Erin was just two or three years old Kadizzle was left at home to care for Erin. Winky must have been on an errand. Kadizzle struggled to get Erin to knap. Shortly after Erin went to sleep in the afternoon a car came down the street and spun around in front of our house. Out of control the car went up on the lawn. Of course it awakened Erin and made mess in the yard. Kadizzle was furious. He asked the neighbor to watch Erin and took off on his bike to find the offender. On main street he spotted the offenders. It was a couple of teenage boys. They did not realize a man was peddling as hard as he could chasing them down main street. The miscreants turned into the local ice cream drive in place on the end of the street. Kadizzle confronted them through the open window of the drivers side. The kid started to back up. Kadizzle grabbed him by the collar and held on. Kadizzle did not let go and the kid started forward after he had backed out. In the process of escaping he bulldozed Joe's car out of the way and did some damage. 

Even after a long search Kadizzle could not find the kid. He may have been from a different town. For some reason Joe was mad at Kadizzle even though it was the kid in the wrong. Well the kid never came down our street again.
