They Didn’t Say That ~ is this week’s Mystery Question. I came across these responses that officers have gotten when they pulled someone over for a traffic violation. I can’t believe they said that!
I took this photo last week when storm clouds rolled in and wondered what you might see in the clouds…And I love this verse in Nahum.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question, Backyard Blotter Reports. I really can’t believe people in my area did these! As usual, three (unfortunately) are true and I made one up. Can you guess which one?
- The woman was having a verbal argument with her boyfriend when she accidentally dialed 911 on the phone in her back pocket. When the officers arrived, she told them it was a mistake. However, the boyfriend had two outstanding warrants and the girl had even more.
- A woman fell and broke her ankle. While she was talking to the 911 dispatcher, another female started arguing with her over a can of beer. When officers arrived, they carted the other woman off to jail.
- An unnamed suspect threatened a neighbor because he thought UPS delivered his package that contained marijuana to the neighbor and he kept it. Since the police didn’t have the marijuana, no one went to jail.
- At a little after ten p.m., a woman saw six men milling around her yard, two with assault rifles. She locked the men in her shed and nailed the door shut. When deputies arrived, they found the shed padlocked, but no one was inside.
And the one I made up is…#2…The blotter report for #4 didn’t say, but my assumption is the woman was either very inebriated or hallucinating… Congrats on all who guessed correctly!
And now for this week’s Mystery Question. This week I’m going with responses people have given police when they’re pulled over. One is FALSE. Unfortunately, three of them were actually spoken to police officers…
- “Would you hold my beer while I look for my license?”
- “Can you come back in five minutes? I’m in the middle of a telephone conversation.”
- “There’s no way I was going 85. I had the cruise set at 80.”
- “Officer, that light was yellow. Did you expect me to slam on the brakes and throw my baby out of his car seat?
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll enter you in the February drawing for a book from my library! (winner announced next week!)

Pat, it’s not showing up in email had to Google this.
Great photo and verse!
Oh wow! I saw SOooooo many things. Here goes: head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, actually 2 of them, a bat with spread wings, dolphin, scorpion, dove, turtle, a goldfish, flying seagull, a question mark, head of a black panther, a chicken, 2 alligators, and a headless, walking body.

I saw a couple of those things, Barbara!
Oh, rat feathers! I forgot to vote! They were all crazy. Going with #4
Author
We’ll see… 😉
The email just now arrived! Pat, I think you have us addicted. 😉
Author
Great. Evidently, I have to schedule the post in order for an email to go out…
#4
Author
We’ll see, Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
Pat, those clouds look like trouble. Good match with the Scripture, since we always need God’s refuge.
I can imagine people making lame excuses when they’re pulled over. #2 might be a stretch, but there are some really narcissistic people, so maybe it’s true. I’m going to guess you made up #4. It’s the most reasonable of the four, so maybe the most likely one to be made up.
Tim, did you receive an email, or did you have to search for this? It dawned on me about 30 minutes ago that I missed getting an email from Pat yesterday. I searched my inbox and other folders. It wasn’t there. It appears only three of us are trying to solve the riddle this week.
Author
Like I told Tim, Edward, it may be that the email doesn’t go out unless I schedule it…thanks for going to the trouble to look it up!
And as always, I love your logic and well-thought-out answers…time will tell if your logic wins out over the drivers…
Author
I don’t know what happened on the post, Tim. I may go back and make it a draft and then schedule it for a few minutes in the future…evidently if I don’t schedule it, it doesn’t go out as an email! And right now I can’t remember if it’s #4, but if it is, I’ll make sure in the future my answers aren’t reasonable. lol
Author
Thanks, Tim. And thanks for contacting me along with Barbara that the post didn’t go out! I guess if I don’t schedule the post, it doesn’t send out an email. Who knows??? Does anyone know the answer to that “Who Knows” Question? You would have to be old enough to listen to the radio on Saturday mornings…
The Shadow knows! 🙂

Hey Pat, I picked the wrong time to answer. After the comment to time, I responded with my selection. Instead of displaying my response, the blog post completely disappeared. Then I got your email and discovered my answer is missing. Now I have to rack this 76-year-old brain to see if I can remember what I said. I guess it doesn’t matter much since I seem to get too long-winded anyway.
I love the way the picture and verse go hand in hand. I enjoy watching the clouds.
I chose #4. If it’s true, I think that officer could have written the man a ticket as long as his arm. It doesn’t give the actual reason he was stopped. I am guessing he was speeding and tried to make it through a yellow light before it turned red. Maybe he didn’t quite make it. His supposed concern about the child seat would cause most police to question if the car seat was an approved seat, was it fastened in properly, was the child fasten properly, etc. A person driving within the speed limit should not have to be concerned about throwing the baby out of the child seat if all the other factors were in order.
I think #4 is made up.
Author
We’ll see, Alicia! Sorry it was late!
I am guessing that you made up #3. My email came through at 12:33 Central time.
Author
My bad, Gloria. When it didn’t publish as scheduled, I just hit publish and it didn’t send out an email!
I usually see organic things in clouds, but this time I see a carpenter’s plane!
Hmm, I think you made up number one because wouldn’t the driver be trying to HIDE the beer?
Author
Hi Vera! Love your logic…and I saw that carpenter plane, too!
I see that carpenter’s plane now. It was one of my alligators! Lol
Didn’t get my email til just after noon On Weds.
I’m guessing 85 with the cruise at 80.
Author
We’ll see, Paula. And thanks for letting me know not to just hit publish, but to do a schedule, even if it’s going out five minutes later. lol
These are great! I’m going to guess #3 is made up.
Author
We’ll see, Megan! I’m glad you liked them!!
Beautiful photo for the scripture!
#2
Author
Thanks, Caryl! We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
I’ll guess #2.
Author

I’m going to guess #4.
Author
Number 4 is turning out to be popular again this week…we’ll see, Angela!
#4 – but, oh dear!!
Author
My thoughts, exactly Mary! lol
I’ll go w/ #4 this week. It would be hard to be a law officer hearing these.
Author
Amen, Delores. 🙂
Beautiful picture and verse, Patricia. Similar to the storm clouds outside my window right now.
I’ll pick #3. Surely nobody would say that. (Unless it was the guy drinking the beer.(
Author
Love your logic, Kay…we’ll see if it works next week!
Maybe #4
If a baby is safely secured and the car seat too, the baby would not be thrown from it.
Author
Gail, I’m wondering if she was upset and just overstated her concern? Just a thought…or a red herring…We’ll see next week!
#4
Author
