I dont live in the place thank goodness. Parents packed up and moved outta there when I was 4 yeard old! Only bad thing is everything I need is in that stupid city. About the only thing I dont need in that city is diesel. Post office, groceries, Subway, cleaners and just about all the little shops known to man are in the city limits.

Sorry...just got back in from an unexpected 200 mile roadtrip.

I told him thats how I noticed the vehicle going 2mph with a driver wearing a hoodie while it was 90* outside. I doubt they ever found em. Ironically they hit the local Dunkin Donuts not 4 hours later (Seriously).

I was debating on whether or not to leave the gun in the truck since I just needed a spool of wire which I figured would be like a 2 minute stop! Good thing I took it...

I go everywhere with my weapon in Petersburg. Seems like the entire city has one, legal or not...
That place is nuts. I've had to go to Petersburg to Central State Hospital on many a transport over the years. Never liked going there at all. There and South Hampton correctional. Driving 460 at night out there, you're lucky if you come back without hitting a deer every 100 yards.

They also had a sign in the window that read "these premises protected by Chuck Norris security" they have not been broken into in the past 4 weeks.
That's hilarious. Here's one almost as good. A Sheriff's Office in a nearby county had been getting complaints about speeding in a certain part of the county. They set up a cruiser off the road with a female mannequin in the driver's seat as a deterrent. A couple of days later the sheriff started getting swamped with complaints about the unfriendly female deputy that wouldn't wave at anybody when they drove by.

the state police tried that here a few years ago on the turnpike John, but no dummies in the cars. just a spare older patrol car parked in the median, semi hidden behind a bridge abutment or something with a turned on radar gun.
it worked for about 6 months, with the cars being moved once a week, until a dirtbag stole the tires and rims off one of the dummy cars and left it sitting on blocks.

that was the end of unsecured, unmanned cars on the side of the road.

Wow. I dont blame you for being freaked out. It'd be worth it if it works though, won't it?

At that GTG the pictures with Robin in them cracked me up the most. As the pictures progressed, you could tell Robin was getting more and more tanked. At some point there was some screen repair taking place, and both Robin and Travis couldn't get it figured out. Of course, It's hard to fix anything with a beer in one hand. Leaves only one other hand for fixing.
