Sighting; most dangerous Cager distraction yet...

[k7lvo]

I have a pedestal mount for my computer that puts it over the console. It does get in the way of the radio controls once in a while. <_<

Are these really a good idea?https://www.arkon.com/laptop.php

even WITH the warning...

These are obviously for blondes:

"...A ball point pen included conveniently attaches to the underside of the base of the mount..."

Where does the container of whiteout mount???

I got into a cab some years ago.

The driver seemed quite unhappy about me saying "to the airport, domestic terminal please".

He mumbled something and drove off.

I then noticed he really smelt bad, he hair was oily and unkept. On the passengers seat was his lunch, MCdonalds. As we drove he had a burger in one hand and a drink between his knees, he'd occasionally fumble with a few fries. At this point he had one hand free.

He then lit a smoke. now no hands free and steering with his knees was difficult due to the drink.

We hit some traffic on the motorway so he exited and started winding along the minor roads.

You can imaging it was all a bit nerve racking..

The situation improved very quickly as he then ran out of fuel..

The cab lulled to a stop.

I promptly opened the door and walked off with him yelling "you havn't paid", just as another cab came along.

The other driver was happy to drive me to the airport. He didn't eat smoke, fart or pick his nose and spoke english, even used 2 hands on the steering wheel.

For this he recieved a very healthy tip more than equal to the value I should have paid the other driver.

I've had experience with women applying make up as they drove.

A few years ago there was an accident in my patrol area. A woman driving a Suburban plowed into the back of a garbage truck that had stopped at the end of a driveway to collect the garbage. The woman claimed the garbage truck was hard to see in all the dust kicked up by the truck on the gravel road. She hit the left rear corner of the truck so hard that it pushed the right front corner of compactor/box a foot to the right. She was complaining of neck pain and waited in her truck for the ambulance. Once she was taken care of, I could look around at the scene. There was probably 100 feet of dust control chemical on the road infront of the house. There was no way the garbage truck was hidden in the dust. There was an open mascara tube on the floor of the Suburban and the top with the wand was up on the dash. I lifted up the airbag and there were 2 perfect black eyelash prints on the bag. The driver side visor was flipped down and the cover over the mirror was up. I wrote her a citation for careless driving and got it to her before the abulance left the scene. She must have pled guilty because I never went to court on that ticket.
