Hijacking in Nashville!!!

[RAM]

Just to let you know all nuts don't roll to California (no offense meant Deke), the following happened in Nashville yesterday:

A motor tour trolly (quaint little outfit, old fashioned-looking and painted red and yellow) was hijacked in downtown Nashville by a character yesterday in broad daylight while the driver went to the bathroom. This guy gets on, sits down in the drivers seat with six tourists aboard and proceeds to drive west. After a few blocks of saying nothing (the driver is supposed to give a spiel about attractions as you ride by) tourists get sucpicious, especially after he hits a tree and doesn't stop. They confront the guy as to what is happening, whereuopn he stops and tells them to get out (miles away by now). He keeps driving past the road where Al Gore lives and on toward the west edge of town, hits a car, and is finally stopped by police eight miles from where he started. Good work by police as it is tough spotting a particular gas-powered red and yellow trolly bus. The darn things seem to be everywhere, don't they? Seems the poor chap was a homeless wanderer who was apparently bored or trying to go somewhere without the slightest idea where. No one hurt, all the tourists have a story to bring back, and a first has surely been established in the annals of hijacking.

Well, one bit of good news is that he didn't also have a shotgun...from the sound of it, CA certainly doesn't have the corner on crazies.
