A young Texan grew up wanting to be a law man. He grew up big, 6' 2’ strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department. After a big mess of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy BOB finally called him into his office for the young man's last interview. The Chief Deputy said, "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look real good, but we have what you might call an 'attitude suitability test' that you must take before you can be accepted. We just don't let anyone carry our badge son." Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief said, "Take this pistol and go out and shoot: six illegal aliens, six lawyers, six meth dealers, six Muslim extremists, six sex ofenders and a rabbit" "Why the rabbit?" "Great attitude. You pass." says the Chief Deputy. "When can you start?"

Took a ride yesterday as it was about 62º. Just riding along down the four lane, which has a 65mph speed limit, which was about what I was going and came upon a pickup running a little slower. I checked my mirror and moved over into the left lane. I then realize there was one of the mid 90's black Impala SS' coming up to me at a good clip. Rather than kick it down a gear or two, I just cranked it on in 5th. As I accelerated past the truck, I moved over in the right lane and run up to about 85mph. The Impala had caught me and was moving past me and I was real tempted to drop down to 4th and run it up some, but I just let it go. By this time we were going up an incline, so i just let the bike slow back to 65mph and let the car go on as he was getting faster. Just before I crested the hill, my radar detector went off. As I crested the hill, there was a Deputy diving into the median to make a u-turn. I had come upon a large truck in the right lane going about 55mph and decided to slow down and see what the Deputy was going to do. He soon came flying past me accelerating as much as that Crown Vic would do. As soon as he passed me, I swung over behind him to see if the Impala was still in site. From that point on the highway, which is straight, it was at least a mile before it crested another hill. That Impala was getting ready to start up the hill. As I drove for the next three miles, with going over several hills and passing several roads that went into oblivion in just a short distance, I figured the Impala had got away. Then I crested a hill and there was the Deputy with lights flashing and a black Impala SS. I moved over into the left lane and gave them the old air horn toot and a wave as I passed. It did iritate me how quickly he came up on me and wondered how hard he would have had to brake if I had not accelerated as hard as I did to get out of his way. That is one time I was just glad I used good sense because my bike really likes this cool air and was running great. As I came back that way later, I tried to keep an eye out for the Deputy as I would love to have known what he clocked him at, as it had to be well over 100mph. RandyA

It could have been a close call yesterday. We just pulled in from our atv ride at the camp. Shut the atv's off and heard sirens coming. We looked coming off the hill on RT 4 was a deputy sheriff chasing a brown caddy. The caddy turned onto our 1 lane country road and flew up by the camp with the deputy right on his tail. The caddy tried to climb the winding hill road behind our camp but may have spun out or got bumped out of the road. A few minutes later two state trooper cars flew by the camp and we heard them turn off the sirens about half way up the mountain. Ramona and I just came down that road a few minutes earlier. I waved at the deputy with his prize setting in the back seat. I gave the rollback driver a wave when he brought that caddy off the ridge down by the camp. The troopers managed to stop a dui on the way back to. So here is the thoughts for a new sign at the camp while were there. All LEO's free coffee or ice tea just for showing up on my end of the county.:cool10:
