Excitment in the neiborhood

Today a neighbors white cow was in search for her new born calf. Vaughn , the owner did not know that she had given birth and moved her to another pasture. There is nothing like the determination of a mother to find her baby!
So this cow tore through Vaughn's fence , ran down our street and tore through two other neighbors fences, including steel panel fences and an electric fence making her way to a large pasture miles from her calf.
A cowboy for hire ($75.00) with horse, trailer, dog and 45 years of experience came to lasso the cow and get her home. At the first try, 30 feet away , he caught her by the horns. She was then lead into the trailer and sent home.
A short time later a black cow , who had followed her buddy the white cow, through all the broken fences, made her way to this same pasture. Vaughn with a bucket full of grain coaxed the black cow down the road, back to friends and family. And that is about as excited as it gets around here on our dead end street.... I LOVE IT !!!

There was another funny incident in the local paper, I will write it verbatim....

At approximately 10:16 a.m., Officer Cary responded to the Lexington Food Mart on Hwy 77 and 5th Street to investigate a vehicle reportedly crashing through the front windows of the store. As officer Cary arrived the vehicle was gone and the owner of the store told the Officer that the known driver of the vehicle pulled up to the store and the next thing the owner remembered seeing was the vehicle jumping the two foot curb, crashing into the window and resting inside the store. The known driver exited the vehicle went to the beer cooler picked out a pack of beer took it over to the cashier and attempted to pay for it with a check. The owner in disbelief refused to sell the beer to the driver. While being refused the driver asked the owner of the store to hurry because the police were coming and the driver admitted he was on probation, intoxicated and did not want to go to jail. After the refusal the driver got back into his vehicle exited the store and drove off. The Lexington Police are attempting to apprehend the driver with a warrant.
