Make the owners show proof of insurance before a towing company can release their vehicle, plus having them pay for the towing and storage fees.

You realize this is already in place, right?

Plus the reinstatement fee.

To be fair, there is a shite ton more risk in La due to the landscape and the crappy building codes within 30 miles of our coast.

---

Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t our landscape pretty similar to Florida?

Also, are our building codes that much behind Florida, MS, AL?

Has there ever been a more appropriately named dawg? That boy just oozes "Mah name's Buford by Gawd, and this here's mah ranch. Don't yew ky-otes and other critters come nowhars near it."

No kidding. 100% looks like a Bufford

I put away about $1k/mo but only about $700 is for me. The other goes to my two kids’ college funds. I should’ve started saving more earlier but my first wife had a spending problem however, I have always put $ in my kids’ college funds.

I also hate debt and do my best to double payments to get ride of it as soon as I acquire it. That being said I don’t have issue with acquiring debts for needs or experiences. I took my family to a vacation in the Caribbean, Greece, and this summer we’re going to Scotland. I never got to do that when I was a kid/teenager and I have 0 issue with them getting to experience it. I’ll just pay $1500/mo to pay it off in 12-15mo.

I think you have to find what you’re comfortable with and where your values are, in addition to being responses saying “no” to yourself when you need to.

ETA: they can’t lower it below .02 because the machine has a .02 margin of error and things like orange juice and energy drinks will set it off

That’s not even close to being true.

Well considering mine is a play on words, I’ll refrain from getting banned.

Sounds like the female officer is a liability to the department.

As are most cops when it comes to physical altercations.

It’s the one most likely to occur but the one trained for minimally bc liability and injuries.

Depts. rather deal with the occasional incident like this rather than all the workers comp claims from bogus injuries.

Think I was 13 or 14 in rec baseball.

2 outs, two men on, down by one or two, I believe I was the 4th or 5th hole hitter and I hit a dinker, seemingly off the plate.

Game over.

All these officials knew it was going to be a problem but seemed to do nothing about it beforehand.

What do you want them to do, build a new road?

I’m not saying there aren’t issues to be addressed, but this is something that should be expected when a small town tries to host a large event. It’s not like BR or NO that has the infrastructure to get lots of people in and out quickly.

Cops can direct traffic but outside of having people at every single intersection/traffic control point until the interstate there’s going to eventually be a bottle neck where people sit and wait.

I remember buying it just shy of $90 and selling at $350.
