Last year. I was driving on a long stretch of highway between Mission and Alice, Texas. The two young men were ambling along walking along each side of the road. A Border Patrol SUV come up behind one and the both take off into the trees on the median just as I pull even. In my mirror I see a Border patrol agent take of running faster than I think I have ever seen a man run in my life. As fast as he was going, I'll bet he caught one of them.

We have had several police chases in our neighborhood since we have been here. Bad guys think it is a short cut to the expressway. They get quite a shock when they reach the creeks. Usually then they take off into the wetlands and the cops break out the Chopper and the dogs. There was a chopper circling tonight.
