One of the things that shows exactly how old I am is that I didn't really know what a 'brake check' was, at least on the roads of today, until I started watching dashcam video compilations on youtube like Dashcam Lessons or Dashcam Nation.
A Dashcam Lessons Video - with some brake checks.

At the beach in Long Beach, WA.
The longest beach in the world. Very pleasant weather and no tourists. Going whale watching today and some lounging about.
Will check in occasionally.
Thread is open.

Wars at Home and Abroad
The US brought the foreign wars back home. There were two county deputies walking around Trade Day yesterday. They looked like storm troopers with their vests and arms...militarized. Used to be Andy Griffith like, but no more. Here at home we have all the ice raids, the National Guard patrolling some streets, and murders/assassinations like Charlie Kirk's. Yesterday I went in our small grocery and asked if they had any chuckeye steaks. "No, we can't get them. Ice has been raiding all the processing plants, and they don't have enough help." That's all bad enough, but our widespread mischief overseas is over whelming. We've got color revolutions all over the world. Nepal being the most obvious this week. Last week it was Venezuela. Plus there's ongoing interference in Serbia, Georgia, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and many other locations around the world. Is it possible to curb the US war machine? I can't see how...
