It;s against the law to be on phone while driving, Yet, not only do I see law breakers on their phones all the time,, but more often than not I also see law breaking cops do the same. Why have a law to keep people safe when no one pays any attention to it. Perhaps you should pursue a career in law enforcement. That way, you could really make a difference and write some tickets to those 'law breakers'.

It also illegal to spit on sidewalk take food or drink on the Metro jaywalking yet people often do..... drive without hands free device in DC is $100 fine

College was and is way out of my comfort.

Random thought : Medicare Fraud... No doubt in my mind it is... Medicare pays for a person in a nursing home,,, the cost pays for everything, pretty much.... Then,,,, Medicare pays for 2 LNA's from and outside service to care for one person on a daily schedule.... What about the LNA's employed by the nursing home? Why require 2 from an outside service when nursing has one to help one LNA from an outside service? Fraud in my opinion..... If Medicare is going to pay for 2 outside service, then reduce what the nursing home gets. If not, then it is fraud. Again,, in my own opinion.

Random thought : Sunday I bought a bag for under the headlight on my motorcycle as there's no place for storage. Tonight I went for a night ride,,,,, problem,,,,,, the bag blocks my headlight somewhat on the road. Only way to light up the road is to have my high beam on. I may have to suck it up and buy a bag for the swing arm. Kinda sucks,,, the under the light bag was 69.95... The swing arm bag,,,,, basic cheesey ( cheap ) 199.00,,,,, something decent anywhere from 240.00- 349.00.

I had to lower my bike so I sat flat footed,, and in doing so now the the swing arm sits to low, and turning I'd ground out if too tight a curve or corner. No,,, I; didn;t mean 199.00 was cheap as in ,, cheap,, I meant cheap as in,,, crap.

As great a technological advancement digital communication has been, we have lost so much because of it. No one writes letters. Communication is by text or e-mail. We have all the letters an uncle of my wife's sent to his Mother from WWII. His plane went down 10 days before the Germans surrendered. Generations later, there is still a written record of him and his thoughts. Today... When our son has been deployed we have nothing. His communication with us has been by cell phone, e-mail, etc. Families used to have boxes of photos. There were albums put together showing a life from birth through childhood and into adulthood. Today... Some may have a thumb drive tossed in a drawer somewhere. There just isn't the paper record that kids and grandkids can look at... and laugh! Ask kids today to sit down a write a letter. They will just stare at you. Grandkids get a kick out of going through photo albums... at the grandparents' home. Ask them to show us a photo of what they looked like 10 years ago and you get that same blank stare. Many years ago, I had a project in a community with a large hospital. (That hospital has long since been shut down and demolished.) An area of the local cemetery was where amputated limbs were buried before an incinerator was installed. I always said that in a few hundred years as archaeologists made digs to find what their ancestors looked like, they would dig in this specific part of the cemetery. We would be depicted with four arms and six legs! :>) Today, with Photoshop, etc. can you imagine what will be on some of the thumb drives dug up 200 years from now?

My sisters and I have picture paper pictures,,, many in various photo albums,,,, and boxes and boxes of pictures some framed, most not to go through we unburied in Moms closet. As far as the digital age, you are right. Pen and paper are a thing of the past so it seems. All I get in the mail is junk mail and bills. No writing there,, just black type. Get this,,,, I have the honor of scanning many pictures and making paper copies for my sisters. Soooooooo,,, there will be more photo pictures to pass down.. Of course, when I kick the bucket I don't know what will become of all my pictures,,,, I still have yet to find and buy photo albums, and what to hang and what to put in a box. Unless I win the lottery and buy a big enough house so I could hang every picture of hangable size. Still,,,, everyone will have their pictures from their parents, right down the line,,,, but for me,,,,,,,, no kids to pass anything on to,,, not even pictures,,, of? Family and moments caught in time,,, time frame ? late 1800's to,,,,, back before digital camera's took over. I like a film camera myself. Just the excitement of opening the pictures pouch and holding them.... Oh, and those you cam blow up,,,, digital not so much,, unless you spend a fortune on a fantastic digital camera where the picxles are in the billions so when a picture is enlarged it stays in absolute focus,,, like that of Film.

This weekend.... weather permitting of course.... I have been invited on a HALO jump with the Airborne on a joint exercise...... It should be great! It's been a while since I walked out of a perfectly flying airplane to plummet 30,000 feet!!
