Standoff


Okay, so there was this huge three-hour-plus standoff yesterday here in Tampa on Dale Mabry, the busiest thoroughfare (good word, huh?) in town.

Turns out, my husband was in the Chili's about 50 yards from where this crazy man named Esteban Gonzalez was cornered. Scott said they wouldn't let anyone leave the restaurant and actually had them all squeezed onto the opposite side of the restaurant.

All things considered, I could think of worse places to be trapped for four hours. :)
