I'm now home from work. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, I come home and find out my girlfriend picked up my apartment and my Maybach came in! What's next?

 

I'm thinking my day has gotten better. I'm now ing in my underwear while eating Otter Pops. (Otter Pops that my girlfriend brought over last night!)

 

I'm now explaining . . .

Jason I can say that your explanation of career to this point is extremely mature and I absolutely respect your decision. I have heard people in my position say things, to people making the same as you, such as "you're a quitter" and etc. I have always disagreed with that. For someone that serves proudly, and does their job well, the only thing I have ever said before parting is "thank you for your tremendous contribution. Wish I still had your services but also wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors. And if you ever need anything that I can help with please don't hesitate to call."

But I have in the last 4 to 5 years realized that domestic law enforcement is more corrupt than organized crime. Sure there are some that do a very noble job, and do it for pretty modest pay considering the danger involved. To those very, very few I give much accolades. But the punk@$$ bitch that decides someone in a decent car, driving in a safe manner, needs a ticket for exceeding the speed limit is ridiculous. Even more so is the elitist attitude that same cowardly punk@$$ exudes as he hands over that ticket. It turns my stomach. And unfortunately, I believe those are the people that occupy 90% or more of the positions in domestic law enforcement.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. All my experiences with law enforcement have been positive. I've been pulled over 5 times. Once in high school in my hometown of Vacaville, CA for trying to beat a yellow light. Once in Honolulu for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Once in Kauai for an illegal pass (I was driving a rental car, a Dodge Neon, and tried to pass a cargo truck on a two lane road. That 3 speed auto and anemic 4 cyl. couldn't muster enough speed for me to complete the pass in time and a car in the opposite and oncoming lane had to take evasive action. Nothing drastic but I shouldn't have tried to pass.) Twice in Washington, once for not using a turn signal and no front plate and once for having my headlights blacked out on my Chevy. (don't ask ) In all the instances I was treated respectfully and in all instances I was let off with a warning. No run ins with east coast law enforcement although I lived in Groton, CT for about a year while attending Submarine School. Is it an east coast law enforcement thing maybe?

 

I'm saying pardon me. Sorry for the interruption.

 

I'm sorry NP.

 

I'm wondering for what?

 

I'm saying my day has gotten better. I just got of the phone with my g/f and found out she is coming over and spending the night. And she didn't just pick up my place, she also dusted my 1:18 scale cars that are not in display cases. No small feat as there are 57 of them!

 

I'm still getting chuckles from otter pops.

 

I'm admitting that life's simplest pleasures are the best.
