Today I was checking out a large night club with huge parking lot. At the entrance some 35 years ago a farm house stood there. I got permission and started swinging. The problem was I could be seen from a major Highway and the can slaw was awful. I decided to stop MDing and put it in the trunk. I just started walking the parking lot. First a Deputy Sherriff car showed up. Then they kept rolling in, after the fourth one I stopped and started to approach them. Well after some conversation I had to unlock my trunk, show my Drivers license, and my car plates were recorded. They were extremely friendly. Well obviously someone driving by thought was carrying a rifle not being able to see the coil. I think the terrorists have won because of how we now have to live. PS I am 71 years old and on the heart transplant list. I guess I am mean looking as I limp along.

Grey beanie...black hoodie...dark green Levi's bomber jacket. 4 inch coil is called a "sniper coil"....

Then that terrible Sampson shovel I carry...I must look absolutely menacing at a spry 40 years old.

No wonder I have never been approached....
