THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

I am in the home office working and Sneakers is sleeping on the laptop as usual. I hear about 15 or so very loud, ( outside the house type loudness ) gun shots. I jumped up to move away from the window and turn off my lights. Scared Sneakers so bad she jumped about 18 inches straight up and ran off into the living room. I listen to my police scanner every night and heard the dispatcher tell officers shots were being reported. One report came from as far away as just over a mile and said they heard 15-20 shots. Police responded and found nobody, they found 16 brass 9 mm casings in the alley. All they would tell us was that it was a "Random act". Yep, 16 shots fired at one house was "random" ? :icon_scratch: Almost all the information I got was from the police scanner. None of this was on any of the news stations , ( ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox ). As of today, no word on what officially happened. :BangHead: It was just 3 houses away ???

I was wondering. I couldn't find any news either, but all any of the news stations are talking about is the corona virus.

Same here.
This "Random act" caused me to think about stocking up on ammo and I had seen a report that ammo was getting scarce. So I went shopping Friday and it was amazing that almost nothing remains. I guess people are gearing up to defend themselves ?
 

Ok let's talk treasure. Mr WD sorted through his coins today. I helped some. We found:

12 wheaties
Nickels: 1940, 41,42,52, 58, 62, 64.

5 canadian pennies, 1 dime

1 2 euro

I love Canadian coins. Always have. I don't know why, but I took a shine to them as a kid and always keep what I find.

The euro was a shocker
 

Sounds like you were bored ? :laughing7:

Just kidding, JUST KIDDING.

Sounds like some nice coins.

I too always liked Canadian coins, maybe because the came from a different country and when I was little I could never imagine going to Canada.

The euro would be neat also.
 

Simon, you used to be a faster poster than I. Are you out of practice or is old age setting in?
