    We have similar signs- except it's in miles or feet- that means the same thing.

     

    I do love getting stuck behind the goobers that drive 15mph under through the curves or up a hill but do 10 over in the passing zones on the straightaways.

    The ones that bug me the most are the folks that slow down when there's on coming traffic, too.

     

    Got stuck behind a guy once that dropped 10mph every time he had to go by another vehicle. Didn't matter if it was on coming and moving or parked near the road.  There was a dozen cars stuck behind him in under 5 miles- and I got to be the first one behind him.

     

    Then, he had to drive between a parked car and a moving one.

    Doesn't that violate some of the Non Proliferation treaties for weapons of mass destruction?

    Katie the Cow, Columbus, GA.

    Katie the Cow started out in front of a local company called Kinnett Dairies (KD, hence the name). They bottled milk, made ice cream, etc... when she was put up 55-60 years ago, it was out past the edge of town on GA Highway 85 and was a landmark showing that you were almost in Columbus.

     

    Fast forward a few decades and Kinnett Dairies is in the middle of town and right beside the then new mall and the local airport right at an interstate exit.  Kinnett went out of business, the building was torn down and retail spaces built but the plan to do away with the cow was met with local resistance, so Katie stayed where she was in the new Best Buy's parking lot- to the confusion of countless visitors to the town. 

     

    For a while, she was joined by a mysterious calf statue that was about 6 feet tall which just appeared on night.  When it was stolen a few years later, the rumors of lynch mobs and vigilence committees made the calf reappear behind the dumpster at a McDonalds in short order.

     

    Recently, retail has moved further out and there's been vandalism on Katie, so she was moved downtown.

    The gents were Sikh using a Martial art called Gatka.  He is lucky it wasn't a sword.

    Then there's a reason that they are doing a mental evaluation on the would be thief!

     

    Sikhs are all about helping people but they are also very high on the 'Do Not Screw With' list.

    Just imagine Rip the absolutely instant curb on unsociable behaviour such as public vandalism. 

    Two nice gentlemen that run a convenience store in Stockton, California recently put the smackdown on a serial thief that threatened one of them- with what appeared to be a kendo stick or something similar in size and length.  Goober was trying to fill a garbage can with cigarettes and threatened to shoot one of the men, so the nice gentleman kept wailing on him with the stick until he fully understood the error of that decision.

     

    Based on the customer shot video, I think the nice gentleman with the stick has a side hustle splitting firewood by hand- based on how much of his whole body he was putting into those over head blows.

     

    It's  one of those situations where you get the urge to volunteer for the jury.

    Gotta feeling the theft at that 7-11 dropped dramatically after the video was released.

    That one could've been taken down the road.

     

    Except the grass is fresh cut- and there'd be a number 10 can half full of sand and cigarette butts near one of the front legs of the chair.  And she doesn't have a can of Coors Lite in her off hand.

    Dude: it's a smoke and a coke. A visual joke on a language alliteration not a statement on economical marketing. 

    Dude, I realize that already.

     

    But...

     

    The Aussies bring up their national passion for beer drinking about every 3rd page and, based on my experience with the Australians I've met, it's completely accurate.

     

    Then, there's the stories my Dad brought back from Viet Nam of the Aussie logistics outfit that was adjacent to his company's area and their hard drinking and hard fighting ways.  

     

    First, there was something about them digging mortar pits as soon as they arrived and their staying up all night taking fire missions.  He's told me a thousand times that, 'You couldn't walk near the mortar pits for the empty beer cans and empty boxes for the mortar shells.'

     

    The Aussies impressed him as much as the RoK troops.
