"Understand that even though you are not a criminal, some people might assume you are, especially if you are wearing certain clothes.

Never argue with police, but protect your dignity and take pride in humility. When confronted by someone with a badge or a gun, do not flee, fight, or put your hands anywhere other than up."

Some good words to stay alive by - for anyone of any race.

Why were the crossing arms "coming down" when the train was already there? Shouldn't they already be down before the train gets to the intersection?

Dear terrorists - please wait around until we can complete the screening process. Pretty please?

Wow - from that picture KOMO used exactly the right word when they said:

I posted the below in another response before I saw your post.
I think it would help your business if you straightened out your signals.
Is this stand a bikini/lingerie place or not?:
-------
I drive by this stand on a regular basis. With the name "Hot Java" and the drawing of a sexy woman on it, I just always assumed it was a "bikini" type of place. Since that isn't what I am looking for, I've never stopped there. (I'm not judging those type of places - just not my thing.)

Maybe this is part of the sales problem. I'll bet guys stop there expecting to see bikini's and don't come back a second time when they are disappointed. Other people never go there in the first place because it looks like a bikini place.

The multiple texts I got were easy to ignore - I don't have any Wells Fargo card so I knew it was a scam.
However, a couple of nights ago I got a call in the middle of the night. That ticked me off!!! Sure would like to see the jerks caught.

1) I use Amazons android market for my phone almost exclusively. So no loss there.

2) Agree but MAYBE Amazon will keep up? If it's a popular tablet and people demand it then they probably will.

3) That's the biggest problem to me too. On the other hand, there is a USB port. So, adding external USB drives should be possible.

I've preordered. At this price point I feel I can take a chance.

I want to know how Bill picked up an extra 5 billion in this economy. It sure wasn't from Microsoft stock - that's been a dog for years now.
