    I was on my way home this morning and the person in front of me was just all over the roadway. Now mind you this was after 6am, so I'm just wondering how long they have been driving like this. I called the police and stayed behind them till the police caught up to them. Of course by now I'm several exits past my house and was going to my Wal-mart to get gas. Well there is a Wal-mart at the exit that I took after the officers got the DWI stopped. I've been at this Wal-mart before, but it has been a long time. I walked around looking for the fabric department to see what they had pre-cut and hanging on the walls. OH NOOOOO they have bolts and not just a few, they have loads. Right there, just a few exits from me, I have been missing out on all that wonderful fabric. Several I have never seen before and cannot wait to get back and buy some for my quilts. They cashier said they are talking about redoing the store and taking the fabric out. I sure hope not. So I better hurry and get what I want while I can. :)

    Thank you for staying with the DWI and calling the police!
    So many don't want to get involved so don't.

    Guess it was all in God's plan. You helped the DWI by not hurting themselves or someone else and you found on that wonderful fabric. God is good.

    They took our fabric out last year. But now rumor has it that sales are so far down that they realize the fabric dept. was better than they thought so we are getting it back. Maybe you won't lose yours after all. Of course you can pretend that I didn't tell you this and buy lots of fabric because they are not going to sell it any more. I'll never tell.

    Your good deed did help keep the DWI man from hurting or possibly killing an innocent family. God is good and so are you!

    Better act fast, when they re-do the store, that is when the fabric goes by-by
