Yup. Didn't win it this time, but the next time... :)

Great learning opportunity and gained quite a good amount of experience + free publicity (our group was chosen for the interview because of our team's unique name) I guess it was worth my time.

Got pulled over for the dumbest reason ever... 

I was driving down the road and I had an officer following behind me closely with his brights on and I was blocking the mirror with my hand because it was blinding me. I was moving around slightly within my lane and he did the same and kept his lights in my mirrors. Then suddenly he turns his lights on and pulls me over.. For what reason? "For blocking my drivers side mirror with my hand"

Thankfully I didn't get a ticket and it was like the quickest traffic stop ever..(Like 30 seconds) but wtf...

Haha. It's Saturday night. Cops are out and will be pulling people over for any reason just to see if they can catch a drunk.

The cherries and berries always make me nervous even when I'm never doing anything wrong. It's sad but true. I just don't want the inconvenience of having to pull over and talk to one or the inconvenience of receiving a ticket for something silly.

I used to be like that. Maybe get a pet black bear and reverse the conditions of nervousness.

Any good? Haven't tried any since they started that flavor stuff. Then again some french onion dip is good enough for me with potato chips.

Unsure. The sandwich was enough for me and they gave me a free cookie too. So not hungry enough to open it up yet. Will try it later though :)

MannDude, now with more bikecam.

Looks like one of those little ghost towns in the south where everybody knows everybody.  I have a client in Virginia, and we finally met for the first time a couple years back. He lives in Lynchburg. Buckle of the Bible Belt type area.  It looks like this in certain places... 

Wanted to post this separately but IPB insists I merge them....

I just disabled the auto-merging feature. I had a love/hate relationship with it. Good for quick follow ups but a separate post isn't the end of the world.

Regarding the town, it's a small, nice town. Largest historic district in the United States as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison,_Indiana . Nice place, I like it here. Nice old buildings and architecture, friendly people, etc. Only problems would be the same problems that plague most small towns in the US, drugs. And I'm not talking about some bored teenagers smoking some weed in the woods either. Sadly a lot of meth/heroin/pills that are being a problem here.

Several movies were filmed here though.

Some Came Running had Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in it. It's nice watching it today and seeing how little the landscape of downtown has changed. Most buildings are more or less the same.

I love anything with the Rat Pack. Hell, my wife and I each picked a theme for our wedding.  Nothing out of control, just a theme.  Anyway, my pick was The Rat Pack because I used to sing a lot of Sinatra and Dean Martin songs in my 20s when I would go to the bars for Karaoke night.  :D
