Does he work in Sarasota, or drive up over the Skyway Bridge to work? Or, does Bradenton finally have a good place to work, besides Tropicana? I worked at Tropicana for 10 years.

Why is that? I mean, it's not like your neighbors?

Not sure? Never did discuss the logistics of his job with him. I just know what his parents (our good friends from home) have told us about him. Never actually discussed his work with him. Not sure that he could tell me much anyway, 007 stuff maybe?

Kinda like we are. He calls Ottawa home, but they are full time RVers now.

We have done a lot of riding together and he has "police training" and you know how good some of those guys can ride. Others that I have riden with I leave LOTS of room between us!

The only motorcycle I have almost run over in my car was a motor cop. And it was only a few years ago. Going down the road, single lane and it splits into a right turn lane, I was fixin to turn right, and all the sudden a motor cop passed me on the shoulder of the road just before I was going to veer to the right to get into the turn lane. No lights, no sierin. That scared the **** out of me. If I would have got over a second sooner, I would have hit him. Not my fault, mind you. That image is still burned into my mind today. I would have felt awlful. He screwed up, plain and simple.
