Maybe someday fines will have the same effect on cellphones/texting while driving, or even littering. I'm not holding my breath. Those aren't overtly visible if the driver is cautious.

Way back when, I used to travel from Ventura to LA to troubleshoot/repair our banking software. The driver used to stop at some place with "Dome" in the name (LiquorDome?) in Malibu and buy some kind of beer labeled "Mickey". It came in a very short, wide green bottle. Driver explained that the bottle was a lot less visible to law enforcement. Guess it worked.

What I perscribe for those who drink and drive would leave them begging to write a check.....but I digress*

Back on topic.



*work-related experiences with the victims of drinking drivers/drunk drivers leave me more than intolerant


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
