While I was working away on a POV master piece, I heard my brother pull 
up outside. I thought 'Oh great, he'd want to come in and talk.'and 
brake my train of thought. Then the phone rings and rings. Great! So I 
answer it. It is one of those scams where they pretend to be the IRS 
looking for you. Trying to get you to sent them money. Train of thought 
gone. I got online to check out the scam. Then BAM! BAM! BAM! at the 
door. I thought Great! I can't doing anything, my brother wants in must 
have an arm full of something. So I say loudly " THERE'S NO ONE HOME! "
Then get up to open the door. I open the door slowly so not to hit my 
brother. Don't see him. Open the still farther still no one.
  I step out and find 7 or 8 member SWAT team loaded for bear! Guns 
pointed in my direction, the start dogs barking. Dumfounded, my first 
thought is to say 'Are you from the IRS". I didn't. I just stood there 
taking it all in. One of the officers ask If I was alone. I said no my 
brother's around here somewhere. Then I looked around and notice that 
his car was gone, he came home in his truck. It was Wednesday, he goes 
to the casino on Wednesdays. I told them so. I heard him come but didn't 
hear him go.
  Finally I got a hold of myself to ask who are they where looking for. 
"Doug" was the answer. I thought for a moment. I know two or three 
Dougs. So, I say "Last Name."  The answer was gobydegok to me, I just 
knew I didn't know him and told them so.
   One of the dog handlers holding the lead to his jumping dog said with 
a mixture of fear and frustration "Where's Doug!".
I calmly said "I don't know. The Whetstones live here."
He said with dog still jumping"He has to be here my dog follow him 
straight to the corner of your house!"
I starting to feeling more confident said "That might be. We live in the 
woods and any one can walk through here."
  The rest of the story is rather mundane. They asked if they could 
search our buildings for the guy. I said "Yes, I rather you find him 
then me." While they where searching, they got a call saying he was 
spotted a mile east of my place and they all piled into the 3 or 4 
verticals. I didn't even notice the vehicles until they started to leave.
   As far as I know they never caught the guy. They did arrest one of my 
neighbors. I guess for harboring him or drugs or both.

Have fun!
