    A neighbor has four boys, he had to take a pickup load of trash to the dump. With no rope to tie down his load, he strategically positioned his kids over the top of the trash to keep it in place.

    I was walking the dog and saw a cop pull him over about a mile from home. The cop walked to the driver's side window and pointing to the boys with his thumb said matter of factly, "You can't do that."

    I told my neighbor, I have rope and a tarp, I'll go get them. The cop stayed until I returned and he saw that the load was securely tied down. No ticket was issued.

    It seems like they use the US Postal service pre-paid moto "If it fits , It ships"

    Yeah, but Costa Rica is the most civilized and educated Central American country. They are a democracy. In fact, their army is, I believe, mostly made up of teachers. My high school Spanish teacher was in the army in Panama and told us that, when he retired from teaching, it was his dream to retire in Costa Rica, due to their emphasis on education.

    I saw a strange object going down the freeway the other night, when I got close it was a woman passenger on small motor bike holding a 32" flat screen! Looked like a tall ship in full sail!

    Waiting for you Beaner!

    Last week was the busy Holy week holiday where everyone goes to the beach. This family did not have enough room so they came up with this idea which did not impress the traffic Police. The family bolted chairs to the trailer! Awesome!

    Maybe you are right...and maybe not. When I was in school, their army WAS all volunteer...and teachers, to boot. However, perhaps things have changed in the 50 years since then. The fact remains that they are a stable country in a sea of discontent. :Thumbsup:

    Chris you should warn people about that link. Too graphic for my tastes. Wish I'd not laid eyes on that. :frown2:
