Monday, May 21, 2007Warning: Trey is 3 Now!I am issuing this warning because Trey just turned 3. Yes, I need to be warned as well because each day he gains more ability in getting into things that he shouldn't. This warning is for you though because we'll be having a family birthday party tonight and a party at the zoo next week with his...

There were 180 soldiers shipping out. It was hard to watch because I don't see the point in putting these brave people in harm's way. That said, they...

Kansas played mostly songs that I had never heard before but it was music that I really enjoyed. They played some of their top hits when they came out for their encore but I liked the stuff they played in the beginning better. I opened up Rhapsody...

I didn't do it everyday because I lived in my jurisdiction and was allowed to go home. There were times when I found myself going someplace to eat. My favorites were Burger King, Subway, and Quiznos. The choice has...

That's probably easier since I'm a White but anyway... When someone says or does something, it can be easier to understand them when you know their color. It can also be fun to watch the reactions from... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, May 16, 2007Will you miss me when I'm gone?I like to watch people. I don't know when I picked this habit up, probably when I was a cop, but I find it enjoyable. I've been discussing Taylor Hartman's Color Code in my other blog but I wanted to move that discussion over here so I could get back to talking about money over there. Watching...

He's a before and after shot of my yard with the usual suspect as the subject of the photo. It's amazing what a couple of months can do. Yesterday we went in to Salt Lake City to see a play. We met my brothers a... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, May 14, 2007Peer Pressure in Law EnforcementAnother big factor in police work is peer pressure. There are a lot of cops out there that either don't work too hard or who work on the dark side and they can make life hard for people who draw attention to those things. A minor example: I was having a good month as far as arrests were going. For...

There are a lot of factors that go into this and we'll explore any that you want to discuss. I read an article the other day that people were complaining about the LAPD being...

It looked like an interesting enough description that I took the test myself. I did it just out of curiosity but this morning I thought it might be good to share the results along with the results of a couple of... Sign in to see full entry. |
