Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

I talked to him about it over lunch the other day, he said he'd get working on it. Also, I had a little talk with him about some questionable play calling that's been going. Don't know if he'll listen though. They don't call him the "mad hatter" for nothing.

But seriously, I did meet him briefly during a public ESPN radio broadcast from Walk-ons restaurant in Baton Rouge back in 2007. He seems like a very approachable nice guy. I don't think he is quite comfortable with all the media attention. He says some very weird things when the spotlight is on him. Kinda like me, I often suffer from brain to mouth disconnect syndrome so I can sympathize.

As for a waiting for DPS to process plastic, in the words of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.....

DPS received my packet May 11, (The return receipt says the 13th) I just checked my status and everything is ready, they are doing the background check as of this morning. So, I'm looking at another 2 weeks maybe?

OK, it's been a few days, background check started June 3, it's now the 20th, and it still says "under review". No progress in 2 and 1/2 weeks. What gives?
