More Wacky 9-1-1 Calls ~ Mystery Question

More Wacky 9-1-1 Calls is this week’s Mystery Question. I’m enjoying these…I hope you are. I do find it hard to believe people actually call 9-1-1 and say these things!

But first the photo and verse. Last Thursday we set out for Mt. Mitchell, but the Blue Ridge Parkway conspired against us. After we finally made it to the Parkway, it was closed…it said for 3 miles. NOT! We went around the detour, got on only to go two miles and hit another blockade. Finally, we did what we should have in the first place–researched! Then we found out Mt. Mitchell can only be accessed from the Ashville, NC side.

So we opted to go to Roan Mountain again, but this time we went to the very top. The first time I went to Roan Mountain, the top was closed. All that to say, this photo was taken where we picnicked, and I love that verse. As for the verse, I love its simplicity. The second photo is from the top. Roan Mountain is the second-highest peak east of the Mississippi at 6,286 feet. Mt. Mitchell is the highest. I took the photo at the picnic site where there were a couple of acres of coneflower daisies.

Now for last week’s Wacky 9-1-1 Calls Mystery Question. Three are true, one is made up–can you guess which one?

“9-1-1. What is your emergency?” “Uhh, I uh, want to report Taco Bell is out of taco shells. Can you do something about it?”
“9-1-1. What is your emergency?” ” I’d like to call and report a fire on the hillside just East of the city. 911: “Can you be more specific?” “Oh,no! It’s getting bigger! The whole top of the hill is on fire now! 911: “Stay calm sir, we’re sending somebody out.” “Doesn’t anybody else see this?! It’s lighting up the sky around it…it’s huge! Oh…oh, wait…911: “Sir?” “I am SO sorry…I’m not usually out this time of night, I just got off work late…that’s, that’s the sun…
“9-1-1. What is your emergency?” “My kid is allergic to peanuts. I’m afraid he’s going to die.” 911: “Has he consumed peanuts?” “Uh, no. But he’s playing with those peanuts Amazon packs their boxes with.”
“9-1-1. What is your emergency?” “My husband is up in a tree, and he won’t come down.” “911: Why is he in the tree?” “Hold on. Harold! Why are you up in that tree? The 9-1-1 operator hears his answer… “It was that or kill you.”

And the answer is…#4. 🙂 Congrats to all who guessed correctly!

Now for this week’s More Wacky 9-1-1 Calls Mystery Question. Three are true, one is made up–can you guess which one?

When a woman saw a fire in her bathroom, she called 911. The fire department showed up to discover that the “flames” were just sunlight reflecting off the shower curtain.
A man called police when Subway employees left off his sauce. He then called back to complain that officers weren’t responding fast enough.
A man called 911 to report a squirrel was eating his birdseed. He wanted the police to arrest the squirrel and lock it up.
In 2013, some crooks butt-dialed 911 in Oklahoma, right after robbing a house. Apparently, they were overheard discussing their loot.

Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll enter you in an August drawing for a book from my library! July’s winner is…Carolyn F.

Here’s another book from my backlist.

Gone Without a Trace is the third book in the Logan Point Series. I had a lot of fun with this one…Even fooled my editor!

Here’s the back cover copy:

It’s been more than two years since homicide detective Livy Reynolds’s cousin disappeared from Logan Point. Unlike most people in her hometown, Livy has never believed that Robyn left voluntarily. When Dallas private investigator Alex Jennings contacts Livy concerning a missing senator’s daughter who was last seen in Logan Point, she notices eerie similarities between the two disappearances. But with self-doubt plaguing her and an almost instant dislike of Jennings, Livy is finding this investigation an uphill battle. With her future in law enforcement on the line, can she find a way to work with a man who is her polar opposite?

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley keeps readers on the edge of their seats as they anticipate the outcome of the case—and the relationship between Livy and Alex–which is anything but certain.
