The call in the middle of the nite

Have you ever got the call in the middle of the nite. Well last nite we got a call about 12:30 a.m.
Jeanne answered it and this guy said this is Mathew from the AZ Highway dept. is April there. Well She thought it was a joke and asked what he wanted and he said that he would tell April. She said well Im not waking her up and he said good bye. After she woke up a bit she came down and told me what had happened. So I went up stairs and dialed *69 and got a Phone number that called and I called it and it was the AZ Highway dept. So I explained someone named Mathew had called my home and they patched him to me. Well while all this was going on Im wondering who is in trouble. Dallas was in Queen Creek and Ashley was gone. My heart was pounding. The officer got on the phone and said that Dallas had broke down in the Salt River Canyon but was alright and was being towed home. I thanked him for the information and hung up. I tried to call but no answer he was evidently in a no service zone. So I tried to go back to sleep. About 3 a.m. Dallas called the house and was in Show Low and for me to come get him. When I came to get him got the whole story. Someone was going like 15 mph on the side of the road and Dallas decided to pass him then the guy sped up and ran him off the road. He was on the canyon side of the guard rail. and about 10 feet from the edge of a big drop off. He stop just in time then he went to try and get out back to the road. He went for a little while and the truck sounded funny he pulled over then it wouldnt go again. Well n oe he is just sitting on the guard rail and a fox comes up to him growling. Now this isnt normal for a fox to come up to a truck with the flashers on and a human near by. Dallas shined the flashlight on him and he sat there for about 2 minutes and just growled so dallas decide to sit on the hood of his truck until the officer found him. We it was $450.00 to tow the truck and trailer 44 miles. That is highway robbery. Well Im glad he didnt go over the edge. but now we need to take the truck in to get fixed not sure what is wrong. He ran over alot of things. Just another one of Dallas adverntures.
