While working on project number 813 at the new place yesterday, I heard a gun shot in the distance. It's not hunting season and don't believe there are open hunting areas (or gun ranges) in the area so it gave me pause but moved on with my project. About 20 minutes later, another gun shot. I was expecting maybe a siren sound coming soon but nothing. A third gun shot came a little after that. Still no siren.
Project completed, it was time for a cold beverage so into town on my bicycle I went, gun shots or not. While leaving, I heard another gun shot and some crowd cheering. As I pedaled towards the cheering, I found the root cause of said gun shots. They were from the starter pistol at the track meet up the road.
