While driving I noticed ( what appeared to be a news crew on the express filming traffic ) a few police officers on the highway using a radar on a tripod. I was lucky they did not get me (not that I was speeding -wink -wink )... but about 4 other vechiles next to me were not so lucky. The police officers (on the express) were radioing other officers ( located on the onramp - about 40 of them ).

I don't think I've ever seen so many officers in one area...

I’m proud to be an American. Despite our many foibles, most people you meet are kind and helpful. As Derrick and I were running up to the grocery store today a man dumped his motorcycle right in the middle of the busy intersection at Providence and Lumsden. Before the biker had even stopped moving I had put the car in park and released my seatbelt to get out and help him. The young men in the car in front of us were even quicker and two of them had jumped from the vehicle before I could open my door. A man in a pick-up drove it into the intersection and jumped out to help the fallen biker, and then two more men were at his side. Five men helped lift the bike off the man, brought him to his feet and got him and his bike to a safe place. Wow, wow, wow, I was so inspired I got tears in my eyes.

 

I am watching you good people of the World! Keep up the good work, and be excellent to each other! You inspire me!!! I hope you all are having a safe and fun 4th of July!

 

Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)
