Red Lights

[HURRICANEBOB]

If I ride a Motorcycle I wear a helmet.. I don't think it's the Gubment's job to tell me to wear one.. Darwin's theory at it's finest (for those who don't)....
Only time I say make them wear a seat belt or helmet is if they are under 18 because some parents are dumb too. I remember laying in the back window package tray as a little fella, making faces at the grumpy old people behind my dad's car. Looking back, that was duuuuuuuuumb.

Remember those giant land barge station wagons, like the Fords, and big Chevies? Remember the rear facing seats that folded up out of the floor. You know, the ones that parents who hated kids put the little folks in, way at the back of the car. As a kid, I used to sit there, looking out the back window, at red lights, with my fingers crossed as each car closed on us while we waited for the green. Looking back, suprisaed I didn't become a hood ornament!

Felt so lucky,, went Airborne in teh Army. Figured if a Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon couldn't kill me, no C-130 even had a chance.

When I worked [once], it was mandatory to wear a seat belt using any company vechicle for any purpose, automatic dismissal with no recourse.And then the company leased a fork lift to unload calcium carbide from trailers.Guess what? The first thing I do after putting on my seat belt, is usually light up a smoke.I dont text[dont know how or care to learn], dont use the cell while driving because I might spill my giant cup of coffee. Get into the boat put on my PFD, forget the kill switch 75% of the time. Life is full of contradictions, and dumb ideas. Bob, you weren't in that airborne group where the CO banned smoking because it was bad for the mens health? I always thought if you dont poop through feathers, dont jump out of a plane. 28th US infantry regiment. We wore brown boots.
