Karma is served to road raging honda driver.
And you can't count on the other driver being even sober. In the 00's, it's about 10:30 AM and I'm on route 80 east before the 46 split. Mercedes sedan and some big SUV playing NASCAR bumper cars go flying by me. I drop back and watch them jockeying back and forth for position for about a quarter mile. Then the SUV suddenly swerves from the center lane to the left, swerves back right to the center lane, bounces off a tractor trailer in the right lane, veers back to the median strip where his wheel catches the turf, flips the SUV and it rolls over twice landing upside down in the center lane. I stop as a witness. When the state troopers finally show up and check out the vehicle, one comes over and asks me to look at the SUV with him. Big rubber tire marks on the one side. Trooper asks, "Is that where the trailer hit him?" I say "No, that's where he bounced off the trailer when he lost control." Trooper laughs and tells me to take off, because they know the guy is smoked. An open bottle in the SUV flung booze all over the cab when he rolled, and the driver was incoherent. I think it was shortly after that I bought my first dash cam.

What led up to all this? I'm thinking the white pickup was playing the game too. He jumped on it when he saw the Honda making the pass on the right. As for the video driver, I would have been at least 200 feet behind this guy.

Got Eggs, Milk and Bread? It's Snowmaggedon!!
Boy you did get dumped on. My sympathy. I think you'll dig that race! I was at Watkins Glen in the early 70's for a Formula1 race when Jackie Stewart was running. Nice track. And seeing that IMSA race in person ought to be a gas. Our favorite was when the ALMS series started and Pratt-Miller racing was running the Corvettes up at Limerock Park. THAT was a gas. Full access to the pits, walk all around the track to see the race from every angle, and in many locations you're only 30-40 feet from the track surface as the cars go by. Met Pratt's wife at the bar at our hotel and she got us in the pit garage itself for some photos and the pit crew competition. And that year Corvette won the class championship. The big, autographed poster hangs in our garage. Then another year we shared the hotel dining room alone with Ron Fellows and his family at dinner. Totally a coincidence. Turned out he's a big WWII historical buff so he and I traded some movie and book recommendations. Those were a few great summer experiences. If you ever decide to go to Limerock PM me and I'll give you some inside info on accommodations.

I'll put one Benjamin Franklin on that bet. LOL I was updating Mrs. 45Doll's computer and looking out the office window contemplating going out and getting it over and done. And with that a huge blast of wind came through and whipped snow all over the place. So, I'm waiting until tomorrow. Also, the temp up here is still only 16 so I don't even want to think about the wind chill. At the Rolex I want to see if the Corvettes can get anywhere this year. But I also saw Cadillac is running in the top class, so I'll keep an eye on them too. I'm still an American Band.

Yeah. They're running the Rolex 24 at Daytona now and they're concerned about wind chills below freezing overnight.

Condolences to the shore guys. Up here in Sussex we only have about 3" so far and not much drifting.

WFMZ update at 4 PM ups shore total to 12"+ and 50 MPH winds. Still 2-4" in Sussex.

Yes that is ironic. But I'll make you feel better. My driveway is 730', a 50' rise with 12-degree slope on average, a hairpin turn, and a 15' ledge rock wall. And yes, I blow it out myself. For a 4" light snow it'll probably be about 90 minutes. 'Why don't I plow it if it's that long?' you ask. Too much to explain in a post, but because of the land characteristics plowing would leave me with about a 6' wide driveway at the end of any winter with a significant snowfall. Or in the case of a real dump, I'd have to bring in a front-end loader. Blowing the snow out leaves me with a clearer driveway than most of the surrounding roads. And it melts quickly off the blacktop. I'm the best road crew in the county. It's our own private Idaho up here. About 30 deer just went racing by on the security cam. Not sure what spooked them. Do foxes take down deer? I know we have several around. Their normal bed down is out on our 'point'. Back to the forecast. They just updated and it looks like the biggest dump on NJ will be on the coast from about Sandy Hook to Stone Harbor. Still looking at about a foot.

We watch WFMZ Allentown for our weather up here. They're usually pretty accurate. As of noon, they're reporting the Euro and GFS models have now converged for snowfall predictions. In Sussex County we're looking at around 4". Along the shore at least a foot. Those totals are up from last night. They do cover northwest NJ and the shore pretty well. Off-air 69.2 loops a forecast every 15 minutes. When nothing's going on the loop is the same for at least three hours at a time. But in this case the loop will start updating more often as the forecast warrants.

Bitcoin...
You might want to read this about the crypto market in general, and MicroStrategy and El Salvador venturing into crypto. I'm not in crypto and won't be, so some of this is beyond me. But some aspects of it look like another Ponzi scheme. See what you think. My favorite phrase in this article was 'hard fiat currency'. LOL Dollars Ex Machina - Doomberg (substack.com)

Permit timeline - Jackson
I know I mentioned this quite a while ago on the forum. Back in the 70's it was the same story in Madison. I got the runaround for my first pistol permits for three months, until the phone call (no email back then) when I said "Let me speak to the Chief please." Next thing I heard from the desk sergeant after a short hold was 'Your permits will be ready for pickup tomorrow." When I applied for the permits, they also asked me "Why do you want handguns?" Madison was always a Democrat strong hold.

Permit timeline - Jackson
Just a historical note. For this purpose, each NJSP barracks functions like its own little police department. In those barracks the first stop for your application(s) is the Firearms Trooper. Depending on their posture, your approval time may be very quick, or interminably long. I've had both scenarios and heard both scenarios from others tied to other barracks.

Now suspect's widow wants a murder charge. - TheBlaze- G-Sight Laser Training - Great Customer Service
Our daughter gave us a G-Sight laser training system for Christmas. (The fruit didn't fall far from the tree.) Typically for her, she did research on the product type before purchase. She cryptically asked me in November what our favorite calibers were, and the answer (of course) was .45ACP and 9mm, in that order. In November I didn't understand the question. Fast forward to Christmas. She ordered an ELMS PLUS PROPACK SSE Special Shooters Edition which contained two laser cartridges. However, when she placed the order, she didn't notice the default was two 9mm cartridges when what she wanted was one .45 and one 9mm. So, when we opened it there were two 9mm's. That would be handy if we both wanted to train on 9mm only, or at the same time. But Mrs. 45Doll likes .45ACP as much as I do. I contacted their customer service. And I'm happy to report they exchanged one of the 9mm cartridges for a .45ACP and all on their dime. I had the exchange less than 5 business days after the request. So if anyone's considering a laser training setup I can recommend G-Sight from the CS point of view. Now we're still getting used to it, but the product performs as advertised. We're just using the basic 10 shot app at the moment but will upgrade for $5 to the 'shot timer' version soon. One thing we noticed; it really does highlight it if you jerk the trigger. With no recoil there's no covering up your performance. And of course you're saving ammo $$. One downside is that if you're training with a SAO or striker fired pistol you have to reset the striker or hammer for the next shot. But that would be true for any laser training product. So far we've worked around that without irritation; trigger discipline is our main focus. Draw and fire is coming up shortly. ELMS PLUS PROPACK SSE Special Shooters Edition – G-Sight - BOOM....
