Have We Been Duped?

If you have been a member of Active Rain for a while you've probably run across Nutsy S. Wallenda, Steven Smith's certifried home inspection assistant. Nutsy's a self proclaimed adventurer, entrepreneur and all around mans man. He's without question quite an interesting character...at least in his mind. Recently the nutty one has been, according to him, taming bare in Alaska.

I'm here to say to you Nutsy, poppycock! Rounding up bare indeed.

Recently as I was driving down the Wilbur Cross Parkway here in Connecticut on my way to an inspection (when Nutsy was purported to be in Alaska) I was startled by a car whipping past me at break neck speed. The vehicle was moving around the road like a pinball swerving into my lane nearly clipping my bumper. This crazy fools maneuvering resulted in me stringing together some colorful descriptions of his ancestry while simultaneously flying the one finger salute.

Suddenly the license plate caught my eye. It wasn't really that hard to miss since it was filling up a good part of my view since this idiot's rear end was in my face.

I did a double take, no it couldn't be.

Let me stop here for a moment and rewind. Nutsy and I have had what may be best termed a love hate relationship. I love barbequed squirrel Nutsy hates being cooked. We have exchanged verbal barbs for some time now. I assumed it was all bluff and no bite...until earlier this summer when I became aware I was being watched. My belief is Nutsy's animosity may have begun when I was in Seattle in June.

Seeing the plate I immediately fumbled around on the passenger seat for my camera. Finding it I extracted the camera from its case while keeping one hand on the wheel. The car was now gaining distance so I had to work fast. I flipped the camera on and popped it on the dash board in front of me to steady it. I fingered the zoom control to zero in on the plate and pressed the shuttered button.

This picture of the vanity plate tells the story. As I said before, I believe I have been targeted and this is further proof.

My suspicion is the Alaska story was a ruse to set up an alibi for Nutsy while he tried to expunge me from existence. Fortunately his plans are big on ambition and small on planning. How dumb do you have to be to buy a car, register it with a vanity plate while on a covert mission to terminate your target with extreme prejudice?

Nutsy, you better watch your back my furry little fiend.
