Things are not always what they seem. Being former law enforcement, and having a son who is currently a deputy sheriff, I can say that many times department vehicles are wrecked or damaged not by the officers carelessness, but by members of the citizenry being protected. Just last month my son was hit head on while blocking traffic due to a crash. The guy refused to slow down and merge into the traffic being directed around the wreck. This kind of stuff happens all the time. People driving thru police lines set up to protect a scene (whatever that scene entails). That said, yes, unfortunately there are bonehead cops that do stupid things with vehicles. However, that is (at least in my experience) a very small part of the much bigger problem.

Forum website has been sluggish for the last few days

All aspects of the forum are really slow today. Slowest it’s been for quite some time. -
New roof going on today. The tear off is completed and I am advised that 20 new sheets of plywood are needed. Seems the two bathroom vent stacks were not installed properly and that allowed water to work its way into the plywood, causing rot and mold. This jacks up the bottom line quite a bit. That’s the part I could do without, however I’m glad to get the moldy timber off the house, and thankful there were no leaks.

1959 Cadillac Hearse

You could almost put the coaches we use today into the back of one of those. Reverse the rear doors and you have a side loader. Completely unheard of today. -
