    About the game of Pool. What's interesting about it?

    I played 8-ball and 9-ball, but not for big money. I think the pool hall where I went had 8 foot tables. That was years ago. I would be lucky to hit the cue ball without scratching.

    Have you ever made the zipper maneuver?

    Pennsylvania does not enforce the zipper maneuver technique. It’s not a law on the books, however, it is suggested to use it to help control traffic and keep it flowing. It’s OK to stay in the merge lane to the end and then move over. The idea is to create 2 lanes of traffic and take turns with...

    Would you ever take a Lie Detector Test?

    It’s best if the police are able to convince people with any type of mental or personality disorder that are on meds to stay off the meds for 24 hours prior to the exam. This should be done with their doctor’s approval.

    Would you ever take a Lie Detector Test?

    When the police ask a person to take a polygraph exam, it’s not always because they are doubting your word. Sometimes there are situations where the police only need to clear a person, so that they can move onto someone else. However, even though the results cannot be used at trial, the...

    Would you ever take a Lie Detector Test?

    When someone’s polygraph is labeled as being deceptive it’s the same as failing the test. The person may request a retest, but there’s no guarantee of getting a second chance and in fact, most likely won’t. When the test comes back from the examiner and is marked DI or Deception Indicated, the...

    Would you ever take a Lie Detector Test?

    I took one as part of my evaluation when I applied to the State Police. After I finished taking the test, I had to wait until the examiner read the results. After that, I was taken to a room and read the results. One question that I answered was considered undetermined. The question was “Have...

    Working the graveyard shift

    I worked the 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift for many years. We mostly worked 2 weeks on 6 a.m.-6 p.m. and 2 weeks 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. I always would try to stay on the overnight shift as much as possible. I found the overnight shift much more busier than the day shift. Crime rates were higher overnight.

    Sadly, I Never Reached The 2nd Part...

    I like the line from the movie "Forrest Gump" where Lt. Dan tells Gump, "We all have a destiny." Yeah, that about tells it all.

    Sticker shock across the Nation.

    As long as we don't have to wait in line, I'm OK with paying a little extra, but this war needs to end now.

    Dining inside or on a patio.

    I enjoy eating on a patio if there are no bugs, or if it's not too hot or too cold. Between 75-85° is OK with me.

    I am really tired.

    I did too. They made me sick to my stomach, dizzy and a little anxious. I only had to take them for 10 days after I spilled my bike and broke my thumb. I tried to take it at the same time each day at dinner between 5-6. BTW, how are you getting along these days. Is life still getting ahead of...

    Taking car to the dealer tomorrow

    I buy my tires at BJ’s. They include tire rotations every 6000 miles. I am very consistent having it done. I had 1 vehicle that I avoided having it done and later, maybe about 25,000 miles on the tires, they cupped. I couldn’t tolerate the noise they made, so I bought new tires and kept up with...
