Road Rage, revisited.

No matter how you look at it, once you pull that trigger your life is going to change... and probably not for the better.
So the stakes had better be worth it.

Ask Alec Baldwin

Beastiality??

Beastiality??

Alec Baldwin engages in beastiality?

You might want to check out Texas's Castle Doctrine.

The inclusion of "theft during the nighttime" is a favored part of the law in these parts. It's discussed often among the morning coffee group around here. I feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of new "immigrants" that don't know the law. I see most have nothing but the clothes on their backs or a small plastic bag. I wonder where they disappear to. ???

Earlier this weekend I decided to check the mileage of my pickup, which I hadn't done in the nearly 2 years I've owned it. It averaged just over 22 mpg over 465 miles, which isn't bad considering that some was in town, and 1/3 of that was on the interstate doing 70-80 mph. Today I decided to start checking it again, at slower speeds. I left my house and kept it right at the speed limit. I wish that I'd counted how many cars passed me, sometimes it was like watching a parade. What was most embarrassing was when that Prius passed me.
Apparently my truck didn't like going that slow, either; after about 70 miles the check engine light came on. Granted it's a Chevy, so that's to be expected; yet it's the first time I've seen it on this truck.
I did good most of the day, never exceeding the speed limit. It was about 200 miles round trip and I was only 20 miles from home when I came up behind a string of cars which was poking along at 40 most of the time, only speeding up when somebody could get by them. After about 6 miles of that we came to a long straight stretch with no traffic; and I burned up all of the gas which I may have saved in the first 180 miles, passing that line of cars.

And if they cut you off during rush hour?

In 1988 I worked with a college student from Missoula. He stated that the summons for going over 55 was for "Squandering a National Resource" and that the fine was 1 dollar, payable to the officer. I don't know if it was true or not but it sure made a good story.

I lived in montana in the 1980’s. They had no daytime speed limits…only nighttime limits….

Do you recall what those limits were? Feds mandated 55 at the time. As near as I can tell, the only thing that produced was some mediocre country songs.

 

[grsthegreat]

It was unlimited daytime, 55 night time

 

[Jstpssng]

Do you have limits now?

 

[Chewwy]

In 1985 I was stopped in Wyoming having been clocked doing 83 MPH. It was about 6:30 in the morning on a straight and level interstate highway and there was no other traffic on the road.
The fine was $5. It never showed up at my home states highway dept.

Each week people dieing due to road sideshows...

What was once just one cities problem has now become more than regional seeping into quiet bedroom communities where responding law enforcement is attacked... lots of road rage.

The big difference is bedroom communities often support their departments as opposed to refunding...

500 citations issued over the weekend at one sideshow!!!

San Jose sideshow brings 500 citations, 7 arrests

Police recovered two firearms after shutting down a sideshow Saturday night, authorities...
