    I put the city council on blast this morning after a near-miss between me and a stoned homeless dude standing in the middle of the street staring at the street light. I offered to send them dash cam footage of the encounter. The council's recent "decisions" haven't made the homeless or the public any safer. This shit needs to end now.

    While I'm interested to see what "solutions" the governor would enforce on November 1st, I also don't want to wait that long.

    Or upgrade to a Tundy and a skid plate. With the Taco I'd have hit him square on. With a Tundy, he'd have gone right under. Easier than taking a speed bump.

    Wait, that sounds callous like I encourage running people over. Which I don't.




    However...

    My favorite is when the crosswalk sign says no walk. Then they walk anyways, and I almost nail them and they cuss me out and throw all sorts of hand gestures.

    I politely (most of the time) let them know over the PA that it's not worth their life just to save walking ten extra feet to the crosswalk and actually waiting till it says cross.

    Oh, it's crazy down here lately.

    I've live and frequent very near to where thousands of the homeless live and spend their time.

    One dude tried to tell me I'm a piece of shit because I have all this stuff on my truck and couldn't spare change for him.

    He couldn't tell my windows were cracked (vent visors) and I heard every single word.

    I politely said on the PA, that I work really hard for all this stuff and to back away from my truck.

    Nothing! I just don't want the FBI to use that post against me later in the event that I actually get a Tundy and then "accidentally" run someone over.

    Wait, did I type that out loud? And what's with these quotes?!?

    I am suspicious of myself...

    Y’all have until it starts to get cold typically after Halloween. Before sunset, go before dinner like around 5
