Yeeouch. That'll probly give her the shakes for the next couple of days. Scary indeed.
Indeed. We didn't hear anything, she's often joked that she would just whistle for me if she was in trouble, but we didn't know about this. We only found out because when the wind was kicking up we moved the trucks out, and there was a medic van there spraying her head down for the mace. And lots of cops.... they all had come without sirens.

Man sprays clerk, then robs grocery storeA man robbed the South Union Grocery in the 10000 block of Tilley Road on Thursday morning by spraying a substance thought to be Mace in the clerk's face and fleeing with money from the cash register, the Thurston County Sheriff's Office said.
The suspect walked into the store about 7:30 a.m., took a can of soda pop to the counter and sprayed a substance in the clerk's face, Thurston County Sheriff's Lt. Chris Mealy said. The suspect then demanded that the clerk give him the money from the register, Mealy said.
The man fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, he said.
A store co-owner described the suspect as a white male, about 6 feet
2 inches tall, in his 30s and wearing a baseball cap, a flannel shirt and dampened jeans.
The clerk was treated at the scene and wasn't badly injured, Mealy said.
That's only about 5 miles from here... same guy as last night - with a friend?
