We call those decoys "probes." As they occasionally speed by us in, say, Ajo, we announce, "Launching probe!"

It is tough to get quick service nowadays. (I hope, upon arrival of attendants, they didn't order a quarter pounder with fries.)

That was not a regular stop of mine, but a few weeks back, beach neighbors told me something about there being a death of a key owner of the family business, and that remaining members could not keep the place afloat.

Trouble is (as lagrimas points out) SAGARPA is often working -- at least almost every time we pass. And they have us on file from previous stops -- old vaccination records, dog photos, drivers license. So for us to hand them some line about not knowing of the rule wouldn't go over.

I'm thinking your sister might have small animals (?) My two big dogs have become a guarantee that we get pulled over. (I've put them in the "down" position and gotten by the "pet" inspector, but if pulled over for a random green light, they call the pet inspector over as well.) And once pulled...

As a notary myself, I can verify that. But nice gesture, 2010.

Well I submitted the video because the dialog was entertaining. What, why, how and where checkpoints are conducted is a can I will not open, but a good guess is that harassing officers is not the way to change things in your favor. Personally, I smile, cooperate and move on.

Thoughts . . . energy . . . prayers directed your way. Meanwhile, I wish every dog would have the wonderful life and devoted "parents" of Tova.

Thanks -- was afraid that was what it meant. But I never necessarily associated the sight of a lone pelican with a sick one.

Okay. I give up. What does it mean?

For the record, I'm among the "woulda-if-I-coulda" group. Enjoy your new place.

General location?

Thanks. I just had guessed that if there were an appliance place in town, there would be no variety. Will check it out.

So appliances would be considered "furnishings?" (We need to replace our range and dishwasher.)

I, too, have experienced the consequences of violating the new rule: Innocence with failure to act afraid.

Yep. I stop at the stop sign, and unless someone is there with questions for me, I go.

You're not alone on this, Kea. I'm sharing the same situation / timing / confusion.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if there were someone like that around town for a project I'm considering.

Well said, marjie. I , too, think that a truly useful, constructive forum is an open forum. Diversity of opinions and conduct gives it credibility and honesty, which I value over cheerleading. I love where intolerance is not tolerated.
