My father was asked about computing degrees, after he retired from IBM and wanted to go back to work (long honey do list). He laughed and told the kid there wouldn't be degrees in that if people like him, didn't help with computers, first. (proud to be a dinosaur)Originally Posted by Shoresy

"Was it in black and white?"
Thanks, kid.

Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
My town is near the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, so it isn't unusual to see police vehicles from different jurisdictions around town. A couple months ago I saw a black and white Crown Vic sitting at a local Kwik Shop. It said Racoon City Police on the side. Having worked at KLETC for 30+ years, I figured I'd trained someone from just about every agency in Kansas, but I'd never heard of Racoon City. I'm not a gamer, so it wasn't until I googled 'Racoon City, KS' that I realized the connection.
Another time....
I was in a local mattress shop picking up a mattress from someone and noticed a white Ford Explorer with an LED lightbar, a spotlight, a push-bumper, and a 'unit number' as well sitting outside. I'd seen the several times before, once being stopped by our local PD.
I asked the guy if that was his Explorer. He said yes it was. I asked if the police hassled him about the vehicle. After a pause, he replied 'they stop me more than they should.'
I asked if he had a security company and did building checks at night or something. He replied with the utmost sincerity 'no, but I am a licensed security officer, and I could offer that service if someone asked.'
He was a nice guy during our transaction, but at about 5'7" and 350, not my idea of a security officer.

Sergeants don't handle that stuff anymore...Target letter, Garrity, sustained. Requires time from a Lieutenant, a commander, and the chief's stationary, five minutes of his time, and his signature...Almost guaranteed to win a free trip to the Sergeant’s office

I was thinking don't get too close, you'll lose an eye if one of them pops.
