North Yelm Shenanigans
One of the many running jokes in our household is that North Yelm is out of control; the weekends don't start in North Yelm until sirens blaze past our house. Fire trucks, police cars, or ambulances whiz by the one road at a fairly regular rate. Of course, they're more prominent between Friday and Sunday. But that doesn't mean you won't hear them on Wacky Wednesday, or Totally Trashy Tuesday. We'll be doing whatever it is we do on a daily basis, whether it be dishes, or surfing the internet, or chasing cats, and the second we hear a siren off in the distance, we know exactly where they're headed: North Yelm. Our reactions are becoming less surprised nowadays, ranging from a shake of the head, to pleas for North Yelm to "knock it off"! Seriously, there aren't that many residences up that road. By now, I'm pretty sure that we've heard enough instances of official vehicles whip on down that road to equal every residential addres...
