LOL! About two weeks before September 11, 2001 I was returning home to Heidelberg, Germany from Stuttgart, Germany where I was teaching first grade. At that time normally to get on post you had to show your ID card and nothing more.
But, on this day the MPs at the gate told me that they were having random checks of cars and so they wanted me to open my trunk, and get out and open the hood of my car. (after they had had me pull my car over)
I was really annoyed and kind of embarrassed as I saw other cars allowed on post. Well, after I got out and opened my hood I got back into my car but not for long. The MP said, "Mam, you might want to come and look."
There was a dead squirrel in my engine. They took the squirrel and disposed of it and my attitude lightened up completely. The car had been overheating and I think the squirrel may have had something to do with it.
