Only in a small town...

There are some signs that a woman is married to a cop in a small southern town.  Some may apply to other parts of the country but I don't have first hand experience with that. 
1) Officers get calls because people are riding 4wheelers "on the power lines" (this is an area in my community that has bigger mud puddles)
2)While out directing traffic in July's scorching heat people stop and give you bottles of water to help keep you cool.
3) People ask about something they heard on the scanner
4) You spend the bulk of your shift chasing a lose cow and then have to deal with an accident from said bovine meeting a car.  While on the traffic call you realize that the cow is expecting and attempt to save the baby.

All of these have happened to Hubs, number 4 happened last night actually.  I just have to laugh.  Not very often does your spouse come home talking about chasing hefers while on patrol.
