I was working security at an old scrapyard about a year or so ago. It was the grave yard shift and I hadn't had much sleep the day before because of a sinus cold. It was about 2330 hrs and I must have dozed off, something I had never done before. Then your show came on and the excitement I always felt at the start of your show was just enough to bring me out of my little nap. Luckilly for me you woke me up just in time because just as I opened my eyes I saw a movement of shadow out of the corner of my eye. I was sitting inside my patrol vehicle so I flashed my spot light to the area I saw the movement and saw 2 men trying to pry open the gate of the storage area where the more valuable things were located. One of them had a gun the other had a crowbar. I jumped out of my vehicle and hid behind an old Ford Galaxy 500 just as I heard the shot. We had a standoff for about 5 minutes. They had a shotgun I had my service revolver. Then the police arrived and they surrendered. No telling what could have happened if they found me asleep before you woke me up.
Anyway now I work dayshift in a much different place and I no longer carry a gun and I no longer even worry about falling asleep. Unfortunatly this means I seldom get to listen to you anymore. But that one cold night your show was the greatest show on earth as far as I was concerned.
Thanks Art
Enjoy the fishing and golf
