Are EXTRA points awarded for style?
Iām not a big fan of living in Florida, but I do like some of their laws. I like the fact they donāt put up with a lot of peoples bull$hit. I remember traveling to Florida several years ago, on the highway leading into the state, I-75 I believe, donāt quote me there was a sign that read, āFlorida citizens have a right to carry firearms concealed, they do carry them and will use them if necessary, Welcome to Floridaā!
I live here (FL)ā¦itās too hot, among other things. You & the sign are accurate, there are a lot of armed citizens here. From my home to the nearest intersection, approx 3/4 of a mile, all but 2 homes display our flag & 3 display the 2nd Amendment flag (Donāt tread on me) as well.
Also, yes, I-75 is the main interstate in/out of FL. I-95 further east, near the coast, and I-10 from the southern coast of AL are the 2 other major arteries.
Yep, itās hot, crowded, and we have wildlife that will kill you in a dozen different ways. Plus hurricanes. Big, bad hurricanes that will wreck your life. No one else come. The state is full.
Ahhh, the Florida dream!
When I traveled to a living I was required to go to Florida many times a year, always in the summer of course. I was convinced the door to Hell was in Naples, hottest place Iāve ever beenā¦LOL. We always used to say, "The two best things to come out of Florida were I-95 and I-75ā¦LOL. I do, however, like your governor and his commonsense thinking. Itās a shame other governors (like the class act moron/dip-$hit governor here in North Carolina) canāt or wonāt take lessons from him.
I saw a bumper sticker here once that said āI-95 North. Use it.ā
Iāve often referred to Florida as āHeavenās Waiting Roomā. Whether itās the storms, the wildlife, old age or any other number of reasons, thereās a fair chance a person may never leave.
'Brevard County Sherriff:
āIf you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard deadā.
I love a guy with Big Brass Ones! ----wait, that didnāt sound right!
OH MY GOD! I PEEāD! 'Plus Hurricanes! Big Bad Hurricaneās! man, you are better than George Carlin
What if they are still flopping around on the ground, how many extra points?
If itās flopping, you lose points!
IIRC recently, within a year or so, a family was leaving with their boat when at an intersection at 4am a crowd gathered, surrounded the family and the father pleasantly asked them to move. At that point the creeps blocking the road shot the family father dead.
If itās flopping you put it in reverse and stop the threat!
Iām more the āgraveyard deadā type!
Thatās another one of those news stories that has never left my head. It never will, like the cinderblock in the young ladyās face from an overpass.
Glad I could make you laugh brother
I love the State I only left because of my job but Iām still good because I ended up in Texas they both have a lot in common.
Roger that. If possible spin the tires also.
I forget which sate it was, I saw a vid of similar such protesters. I think it was in Oklahoma, and very recent.
Where protestors were throwing rocks at windows of police cars, and standing in front of them, jumping onto the hood of the cars.
Some of the cars drove through them, although about 1-5 MPH speed.
Iām not LEO, so I do not know the protocol in that situation. I imagine, exiting the car and hand-cuffing and arresting them seemed safe thing to do. IDK.
I heard the protestors speak, though 99% of their words were profanity. I had seen some other vids criticizing them;
Oddly, the protestors seemed to be USA born citizens with no language accent, but perfectly good cursing English. Their carrying non US flags and burning, spitting on USA flags was confusing and scary. Why, why, why?
If youāre ever faced with a gaggle of genetically deficient mostly peaceful protesters blocking your 3 ton rolling conveyance, ask yourself: What would Reginald Denny do?
That reminds me. I need to pick up a cattle guard for my new truck
You can in Oklahoma too.
Speed up.
Thatās a lesson I learned as a young man with my brand new wife , a vibrant gorgeous 20 year old in the passenger seat. After passing us slowly and taking a close look at us, a couple of big Harley riders sporting colors reduced speed in front of us on a remote country road and came to a full stop blocking the road with the bikes. I didnāt need a color brochure to figure out the prize they were after. They were practically drooling looking at my precious cargo. I hit reverse and went back a couple of hundred yards before stopping. I put the pedal to the metal and watched the 2 dirtbags scramble to push their bikes out of the way. I kept the pedal to the floor until I reached civilization.
