That's alright, it wasn't my car.

I've got a good story for that one too. the abridged version goes like this....

Speeding car
Chase initiated
Suspect takes out 200+ feet of chain link fence and centers a 6' oak
Foot chase follows
Suspect, while fleeing from this officer runs into a split rail fence. The impact sends him butt over tea kettles into the street. Upon seeing this I became overcome by laughter.
Suspect regained his composure
I lost mine on the wrong side of the fence
Chase resumed as suspect no longer preferred my company
Suspect attempted to jump through hedge
Hedge was better catcher than he was jumper
Hedge could also throw, and did, straight into me
Fight began
about 4 minutes later, fight ended
I began dragging suspect back to my car
Backup arrived and removed suspect from my custody but failed to ascertain all details of his condition
When I arrived at the patrol cars, I determined the suspect was not incarcerated in my patrol car, but in my backup's
I informed my backup of his aromatic tendencies since his superman over the split rail fence
Backup was not amused at the newly installed air freshener
Suspect got immediate and rapid transport (and hosing down)

Heidi, he was losing it from the other end. The flight over the fence was smooth but let's just say he stuck the landing. As he met the road surface on his back and totally prone, it knocked the wind, and the shtuffing out of him, hence the smell.

The Dungeness crab is a species of crab that inhabits eelgrass beds and water bottoms from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Santa Cruz, California.[1] Its binomial name, Cancer magister, simply means "master crab" in Latin.

They measure as much as 25 cm (10 inches) in some areas off the coast of Washington, but typically are under 20 cm (8 inches).[2] They are a popular delicacy, and are the most commercially important crab in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the western states generally.[3]
A Dungeness crab measuring 15 inches

Dungeness crabs have a wide, hard shell which they must periodically molt in order to grow; this process is called ecdysis. They have five pairs of legs, which are similarly armored, the foremost pair of which ends in claws which the crab uses both as defense and to tear apart large food items. The crab uses its smaller appendages to pass the food particles into its mouth. Once inside the crab's stomach, food is further digested by the "gastric mill", a collection of tooth-like structures. Cancer magister prefers to eat clams, other crustaceans and small fish, but is also an effective scavenger. Dungeness crabs can also bury themselves completely in the sand if threatened.

Males are attracted to potential mates by pheromones present in the urine of female Dungeness crabs. Upon locating an available female, the male initiates a protective pre-mating embrace that lasts for several days. In this embrace, the female is tucked underneath the male, oriented such that their abdomens touch and their heads face each other. Mating occurs only after the female has molted, and the female signals her readiness to molt by urinating on or near the antennae of the male. The female extrudes the eggs from her body several months later; however, they remain attached under her abdomen for three to five months until they hatch. Young crabs are free-swimming after hatching and go through five larval stages before reaching maturity after about ten moults or two years.

The safest place to hold the Dungeness crab is its back. Although the hind part of the crab is commonly used to pick up the crab, their claws can sometimes reach the holder's hand.

They are named after Dungeness, Washington;[1] which is located approximately five miles north of Sequim and 15 miles east of Port Angeles. The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival is held in Port Angeles each October.[4]

Didnt know about the festival until two years ago when we came through there the day after it was over. Lucked out and still got some really good crab at a good price.

OK you bunch of lazy bums - - out of the sack, hit the dirt running.

Coffee is on - - sun is up (but you aren't). Come and get it. Yeh, I shoveled the mess out the door too, but be careful coming in. Might see something that is hairy and moves.
