I am always hopeful that who ever I am with if they have drugs or some
illegal stuff on them they will tell me so I don't get in the same car with
them. I think it's rude not to.
But I also feel the same about people who argue with cops.

"Excuses me Mark but I'm one of those people who will argue with a cop if we
get pulled over for anything."
"Thanks Ed would you mind taking a cab or I have room in my nice soft cushy
trunk".

To me arguing with cops is about the single dumbest thing you can ever do.
There is no such thing as "logic" for a tired overworked cop.

Remind them of the first amendment?
It's not worth getting you head bashed in.
They don't want to hear about it.
We've good pretty good ones here in Portland but my number one rule is never
Never get into it with them in any way.
Even "explaining" can go down as arguing.
I preface anything with "You don't want to hear about this do you?"
If they say yes I keep it real short and simple.
"I always thought if you went 31 in a 30 was pretty much ok but what do I
know?

To me this is like going to Vegas gambling.
The worst thing you can do is win.
It plants it in your mind that this is a viable option that you might at
some point fall back on. Then the odds in the houses favor take effect.

Great shots Kyle!! I'd love any kind of tech info at all what do I know
about art I'm a geek, that's why I'm on a camera list..
That way if there's anything German involved I can trash it and secure empty
trash. Call in the plumbers.
I'm a Geek what are you going to do!?!

Give me a magician any day who explains how he did it during the encore.
