Are you all following Trump on the news?
He's going to be your new President?
It will be interesting to see the difference between a community organizer and a guy with a lot of business and financial experience in the house.
Got a sciatic nerve pain so bad my brother has put my socks and shoes on for the past 11 days...........
Stater pulled me over and wrote me a warning that described the crack in my windshield as "operating an unsafe vehicle"

[1983 c.338 §437
The officer proceeded to tell me that "
the crack compromises the structural integrity of the uni-body design of my vehicle" ....meaning my 1977 "
unibody" full size 1/2 ton Chevy van"
He made no mention that he
really pulled my ugly old van over because this type of vehicle will be more likely to score an uninsured, or unlicensed driver... or somebody with an outstanding warrant.
This really pissed me off. He probably had his radar on and
he was parked almost on the white line on the opposing side of the 2 lane highway. An 80,000 pound wood chip truck was coming towards me............... the large truck, the cops car, and my van were going to be side by side at the same moment. This is a two lane highway, and being the nice guy that I am, I decided to pull to my right a bit to allow the chip truck more wiggle room when the two of us passed by the cops vehicle.................
which was parked almost on the white line.
See what I get for being nice. The cop did a quick U-turn and followed me for 4 miles.
The crack is a single horizontal crack below my field of view, does not spiderweb at all, does not continue all the way across the windshield nor contact any edge of the glass............. and it's size has not changed or gotten larger whatsoever in the past 20 years that it's been there. There is rust on the upper side of the window rubber, (the officer doesn't know that), so there is no way the glass can be replaced.
I owed a shop $150 and did a $495 whole house restretch for them....... this is the first job they have offered me since early November. They deducted the entire $150 from my bill, even after I told them I have a shutoff notice on my electric bill. Pisses me of royally since I didn't charge them, for all the hours I worked on that job...... now I wish I would have.
.......oh, and I forgot to write down a $32 check to the grocery store, so it gets even worse. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my .44
