Yeah the news article wasn't clear on the location.

I've seen those trucks, one I saw had a USA flag on one side and a black flag with crossed AR-15's on the other.

On the train to work.  Police are using K-9 units to sweep trains.  Haven't seen that before.

The article I linked to said the guy in Vancouver with the truck had "two large American flags and several small flags hanging from its windows (along with a Confederate flag decal displayed on the back window of the cab)"

Question: How safe do you think it is to assume that if a person has a pickup truck and said truck has a big American flag waving off of it that that person is likely to be a giant asshole?

In other words: flag-size to asshole, is it a 1:1 ratio? And if so, what does having two flags on your pickup do to said ratio?

Holy shit...

The more flags you have = the bigger the asshole you are.

Reminds me of before the holidays, we had police with assault rifles guarding the nearest town's train station, and also occasionally sweeping the trains.

Terrifying shit, when that kind of thing happens, isn't it?

Give me your number; I'll call you.

I might just say "farts!" and hang up, but I'll call...

If you do that, I'll make sure my 11 year old answers. She'll think you're the coolest person alive.

My parents may got home from visiting my sister in Baltimore and they came home with "condolence" gifts from various people who she knows who she told about my diagnosis (her mother, her mother in law, some friends...)

So of these gifts i got a journal with Bible quotes in it and a book called "what cancer cannot do" which is full of "inspiring" stories of how cancer cannot cripple God's love and how Abraham and Sarah chaffed while waiting for a baby and how futile that chaffing and fretting was because it didn't change the results so you shouldn't chaf over waiting for results of tests....

:vomit:

I'm going to throw these things in a box in the back of my closet and proceed to eating the awesome cookies my sister sent me.

With some ice cream.

And chocolate syrup.

Your sister gets it.

The others don't.

Keep the sister.

That buy-bull quote journal  will be great for some heat in the fireplace. Make some s'mores from the heat. Win-win!
