“May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.”


"This report is maybe 12-years-old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people . . . better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave." ~ Captain Malcom Reynolds

Well, last night's special was unsuccessful, in that I didn't find any DUIs to take to jail - barely even wrote any tickets.

On the other hand, encountered several people who were telling the truth when they said they'd only had one or two drinks (a rarity as any cop or EMT will tell you), and who were thanked very courteously for being under the limit & driving safely.

I'll call that a win - if there are fewer drunks out there than everyone is a bit safer.

Sounds like you got lucky on the simple and drama-free request.

Wish I could say the same for us. We had 3 twofers and 10 other DUIs.
