10. I'm safe - He's my cousin's husband
Mon Dec 24, 2012, 02:29 PM
Dec 2012

Funny - When I belonged to a pistol range the police would come down for different competitions
but they stuck to themselves - I was disapointed that we didn't work up any relationships.

My cousin's husband is a very nice person. He's very easy to talk to
and has no attitude - just very, very nice!

I wish things were like back in "It's a Beautiful Life" where you knew everybody and
the police would bring you to your father if they caught you doing something wrong.

Now, it's just - get caught - go to jail - pay fine (not that, that's ever happened to me!)

I used to vacation in an un-incorporated town and you could drink and have bon fires
on the beach at night. then, we incorporated to get state funds and they brought in a
bunch of rent-a-cops and it was like all they wanted to do was fill their quota of arrests.
They even arrested people fr drunken walking and if you were arrested for riding a bicycle
under the influence you got your license taken away - what a mess.
