Not as fun as it looks?
Every time I see this rig, I think, "Ohhh, I want to do that (be a Sheriff in a JK)." But I'm sure it'd get old chasing down idiot drivers on their cell phones, etc.
Love the new half door look though.

I mention it b/c we have several "non-contracting" type folks and others who have a hard time meeting our 11-1 lunch schedule...plus it is primo patio weather right now.
Heck, maybe I'll approach a local establishment and see how keen they are on having a "Jeepers Creepers Show-n-Shine Happy Hour" in the near future. Doesn't have to be just JKs, right? Maybe invite some of the local TJ and YJ folks that I've been seeing driving around town.
Let me tell ya......10+ bad-a jeeps parked in a parking lot will in fact bring in some new business.
Just a thought...what's everyone else think?

I do not know if you guys saw or heard in the news about the boy who was run-over and killed by a lawn mower today but I knew this family pretty well and for many years. Many of you know that I stay out at the in-laws when I am in town but these folks were neighbors and most of my family were first on the tragic scene. The reports are very unclear but I just wanted to say that it was a horrible tragic accident. From what I heard from family on the scene was that his father was mowing the neighbor's grass, he put it in reverse not knowing the child was behind him and that is when it occurred. He was 8 years old. To top it off my sister-in-law was driving the parents to the hospital when a teenager pulled out in front of them at Dughill and HWY 72. The mother is in surgery now, father is okay, big brother with lacerations to the face and my sis-in-law has a broken ankle... of course all that pain pales in comparison to what they are going through with their loss. My wife is bawling her head off back in Arkansas while I am away on business all week in North Carolina. Really sucks. Anyway, keep the family in your prayers... this kind of loss is never easy. Be safe when you mow the grass folks... always be aware of your surroundings.

I was about to vent about someone breaking into my motorhome at the Bankston lot this weekend and just making a mess and ruining my Dega plans. It made me mad as hell! With this post my anger, hurt, and all that seem like dropping a Penny on the ground. God help that family. I/ we and my family are blessed to have such petty issues. Praying for the family!
