Did you know the dark side of the moon is not really dark?

I heard they were loaned some lenses from Kubrick.

Did you see the aluminum ramps they used to offload the vehicle?  I have the same type, bought at Amazon!

No kidding! When I first came to Colorado, I had the [mis]fortune of having a car that apparently matched the description of the getaway car of some bank robbers who had just robbed the Kremmling town bank a few minutes before I drove through the town. I came over a hill about 60 MPH into a long column of stopped cars where the CHP had set up a surprise roadblock, and had to swerve into the (empty) oncoming lane to get stopped without hitting someone. The car behind me did the same thing. As I slid (literally) to a stop, the Trooper saw my car, matching the description, sliding to a stop right at him, and he pulled out [what I later learned was] his Dirty Harry Model 29 and pointed it right at my face: I think he had it bored out to about 4 inches in diameter? At least, that's how it looked, just then!  :o :o

 I was driving in our home town late one Sunday night and was swarmed by black and dark blue Suburban's and Tahoe's , there must have been 20 or so in two blocks and half of them had a dark colored two Harley size trailer with a roof AC,  behind it.  They all went on their way but were heading towards our local Police station. I never heard anything more about it.

Those may have been DHS. Around here, we call that a "DHS frenzy". During King O's reign they were here often, because the city of Denver declared itself a 'sanctuary city' and we have been drowning in illegal Mexicans ever since. The News here doesn't even report the shootings, beatings, and drugs here anymore - they don't need to, really, you can just go out most days and watch it yourself. :( :) That might be why 68% of the adults in the County where I live now sport CCW permits...and while I was Security Chief 8 years in my last job, I just today joined USPSA for some more continuing education... ;)
