    Had the EXACT same thing happen to me in West Linn. Got pulled over for allegedly "straddling the line". I did no such thing and my date at the time (now my wife) was even like, "WTF?" and said I was driving perfectly fine. They asked if I had been drinking. I said I had. But it was one Bloody Mary and it had been 4 hours prior (I pulled out the receipt) and I know I did not smell like alcohol. After 25-30 minutes of questioning, a sobriety test, saying the alphabet backwards (hey, I practiced this just for such an occasion), they finally let me go.

    My answer to the woman cop in West Linn when she asked if I had been drinking was,"I had a milkshake...."

    People flip out in this country (and rightly so) over guns yet rarely raise on eyebrow over traffic deaths. Over 100 every single day in this country. Only a third of those are alcohol related, Isn't it odd that there is not more outrage about the stupidity of drivers? Stay in your lane and slow the fuck down.

    true story: I got a ticket a few years ago in Turner Or. It was for going 28mph in a 25mph zone. I made myself feel better by telling the cop it was a chickenshit move. I still had to pay 30 dollars though.

    This proves that even though regulated there will still be deaths. A law stops SOME people from drinking and driving not all.

    We have laws against murder, people still murder... So the straw man is that some law will prevent ALL of the things. No, it'll prevent some of the things.

    People try to use this straw man to keep legislation away from their guns. I call bullshit.

    Wow... a cop stopped me when I was speeding one day. I was off 122nd and Halsey going 50 in a 35. I fully deserved the ticket.

    But the cop did me a SOLID. He says, "I could make you pay this $260 ticket but I'm gonna help you.
    Instead of paying the ticket, give up 8 hours of your time and $50 and take the "High Risk Driving Course" (HRDC) at Emanuel Hospital. I'll come to court and drop the ticket if you do."

    I'm like :blink: HELL THE FUCK YES!

    I took this course and it changed my life and the way that I think about driving. It should be high school curriculum.

    I say this to say those MFs in Turner must be bored. The PPD officer at the HRDC says he'd never pull someone over going 5mph over the limit.

    Stay away from small towns in Texas. I got a speeding ticket when exiting the highway to get gas. The speed limit changed from 65 to 25 on the exit ramp. I was going about 45 when I saw the sign and the cop. An obvious source of income for the small town. The ticket was not cheap and there was no way to fight it without going back to that hell hole.

    The contract we gave him instantly made him overrated.

    I know he wasn't really that good, but that guy fell off the planet recently. Did he get hurt or something?

    Maybe we should pick him up. Neil obviously thought it was a good contract.

    The danger is, he might play well for 5 minutes and Neil will go all Meyers Leonard and resign him to another extension.

    Look, Allen is 28 years old, in the prime of his career. He put up a significant amount of points off the bench for us in the last 20 games of our ultimately failed attempt to make the playoffs. I really don’t see the need to justify his new 4 year deal to you. We’ve done the market analysis and 25 million per season for an 8th man is the going rate.

    How much would it cost to buy back Aminu, Kanter, Barton, Harkless, Crabbe, Connaughton, and Vonleh?

    Two cents?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    His shot deserted him. That was the only thing that made him a viable NBA player. If he's not hitting 40% of his threes, he's essentially unplayable.

    Blazer fans overrate shooters and underrate guys who carry us deep into the playoffs. Olshey dumped Kanter so he could afford flimsy little Rodney Hood, who is a slightly better dribbler, but not a better catch-and-shoot artist, than Crabbe and will meet the same fate eventually.
