It couldn't be gruff-looking transients, the LRT line doesn't run into Nose Hill park.

What a wing nut.

"just approached us and stopped us, stopped us by being in our path" So two guys were walking on a pathway in the opposite direction as you, and stopped to have a nice chat. It's not like you were in a dark alley with nowhere to run, you are in an open field and can walk around someone very easily.

"They just took it upon themselves to yell at us." So they were probably excited while saying have you been to stampede yet. This guy's story just doesn't make sense.

They probably figured he didn't hear them the first time.

The phone call probably went "Hi, I'm a reporter from the Herald, wondering if you could comment on your letter"

My guess is he shot the phone.

It's #nosehillgentlemen, there are hardly any posts using the hashtag you've recommended twice now.

Now please don't shoot me

BTW, I doubt his response was as cordial as he said. I don't think "Gentlemen, I don't have any need to talk to you about anything. Goodbye" would fly, especially from a gun-toting policeman from Michigan of all places. Last time I checked, this wasn't 1850's London where a 10-pace revolver duel was required to settle the matter.

If you're willing to draw a gun in this situation, it's more likely his response was a series of swear words and vulgarities. I'd like to hear what the other two guy's version of the story.

You would hope with all the attention this is getting the two guys would have heard about this and come forward. I would love to hear the other side, could make it even better.

I suppose if your definition of coincidence is "names that are anagrams for completely nonsensical phrases that happen to contain a word relevant to that person's profession" they yup, totally a coincidence.

Sunday night, two young men near Eau Claire (without being welcome to speak to me) warned me about a "werewolf" on Prince's Island. I wished I had a gun with silver bullets.

The Starbucks employee this morning asked me if I needed more sugar packets after I took the last one in the tray. That's more than enough chicanery for me to unload on him with a fully-loaded M4 Carbine.

My buddy had a guy start to ask him something while gesturing at his wrist, not wanting to take any chances he curb stomped him before it could get out of hand.

This morning my phone rang.
I ignored it.
It rang a second time.
I told it "Phone, I don't have any need to talk to you about anything. Goodbye!"
It rang a third time.

Does anyone know a good place to have an iphone screen replaced?
