HOM: Big Red PotShot

Forgot about this, so it is way out of order. Soon after I got my USN discharge and was back in Kalispell, an odd, and still unexplained, incident happened. One morning I drove into town to visit with Gordon & Lois. When I parked in front of their house one of them pointed out a hole in Red's trunk. There was a neat, deep, probably .30 caliber, dent in the passenger side rear fender that cracked the metal but didn't fully penetrate. I'd acquired it someplace between the folk's and Gordon's, but I hadn't noticed the impact while I was rattling and banging in over the rough gravel road. Every question I had/have about that is still unanswered. I know I wasn't popular out in Lower Valley, but I didn't think anybody disliked me enough to take a shot at me. I suppose it was an accident, but I don't know. I know I did drive more cautiously and kept a gun under the seat after that! TBC (Me) (Blacktail Books)
