Halloween
How was your Halloween? Mine started with the Blogger party. That was a great party. Plenty of ladies and gentlemen dressed in costumes - some not. I went as my figure here on the blogs. Then I went to Kellys party. Another great time. I went as a cowboy - not very original-I supprised myself, I was able to fit into my fringe coat that I wore in the late 60's & 70's. This was the best weather I can recall in recent years for Halloween. Halloween itself I stayed home and answered the door. We have never had so many trick or treaters. I had to close the door and turn off the lights a half hour early, I ran out of treats.Part of that was my problem, I started giving 3 treats to the small kids and 2 to the older ones. That stopped quickly! I then went to 2 for the little ones and 1 for everyone else. Still running out too fast. Finally just 1 for everyone. There were lions and tigers and bears. Batman, princesses, pumpkins. No political figures this year, I thought there would be some. Then there were the ones that wern't dressed in costume at all. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
12 Dumbest Driving Laws
I thought you would get a laugh out of some of these. You can understand why some laws exist: no speeding, don't run the stop sign, yield to pedestrians. But other laws may leave you scratching your head - right in front of the officer who pulled you over for violating them. In many states, for example, it's as possible to earn a ticket for lollygagging to look at the scenery as it is for speeding. The legal reasoning is that going too slowly impedes traffic.
The reasons behind still other laws have been lost to history, and chances are you can get away with violating them. In Denver, for example, it's illegal to drive a black car on Sunday. And in the foggy past, Minneapolis outlawed red cars on Lake Street. Here are 12 more unusual laws related to cars and driving. But we must warn you: Reading these means you'll have to answer truthfully when the officer asks "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
Honk if you pass Rural New Jersey might sound like a never-ending New Year's Eve party if everybody obeyed the law. State law requires drivers to honk the horn when passing another vehicle going in the same direction outside a business or residential district.
However, watch it in Little Rock, Ark., where the law says "no person shall sound the horn on a vehicle at any place where cold drinks or sandwiches are served after 9 p.m."
Honking at sandwich shops is OK in University City, Mo. - so long as you honk in your own car. It's illegal to honk the horn of someone else's.
Kindly keep your cattle in the car Hey, city slicker - you'll have to keep that cow in your vehicle in Topeka, Kan. The city has made it "unlawful for any person to suffer or permit any livestock owned or controlled by such person to run at large, or to drive any herd of cattle, horses, mules or hogs, or any flock of sheep, upon any street in the city."
You'll need permission to throw that brick In Mount Vernon, Iowa, you're not allowed to shoot arrows or throw bricks onto any street or highway without the City Council's written consent.
Clean up your act In San Francisco, it's illegal to wipe a vehicle with used underwear and to pile horse manure more than six feet high on any street corner.
Unhand that nozzle! In Oregon and New Jersey, you cannot pump your own gas. Supposedly this practice keeps gasoline prices lower in those states, because insurance costs for gas stations go down if attendants instead of customers pump the gas - but, on the other hand, that attendant must be paid, whereas you pump for free. So the jury's out on the reasons for this one.
Animal and vegetable antics Palm Springs, Calif., forbids anyone from walking a camel down the main street, Palm Canyon Drive, between 4 and 6 p.m. Hunting from moving vehicles is illegal in several states, including Connecticut and Tennessee, where only whale hunting by that method is allowed. Thou shalt not sow a vegetable garden in any public street in Chico, Calif. The law, however, does not forbid flower gardens.
No pillows on the roadbed No matter how sleepy you get, you are not allowed to snooze in the middle of any street in Eureka, Calif. Reno, Nev., won't let you park yourself on a bench or chair in the middle of its roads, either. As long as we're on a roll, here are a few more tips to the lawful: - Yield to peacocks in Arcadia, Calif.
- Don't jump into a passing vehicle in Glendale, Calif.
- Don't change clothes in your car at the beach in Destin, Fla.
- Don't keep a car door open longer than is necessary in Oregon.
- Don't drive through playgrounds in Dublin, Ga.
How serious are they? Serious. Screeching your tires in Derby, Kan., could get you 30 days in Bad Boys' Bed & Breakfast. And if you think switching back to a one-horsepower hay-burner might get you away from the long arm of the law, consider this: In Texarkana, Texas, it's illegal to ride a horse at night without taillights.
Checking In
I haven't had much to blog about lately, including now. My August and September were pretty good business wise but October has fallen on its nose. Probably due to the fact that I was busy in September and didn't get a chance to advertise and pass out flyers. Of course the other reason is the state of the nation, I dont think anybody is doing anything. I am currently trying something new with the local schools, I have contacted the principals and offered the following: I will make up coupons for the school to send home with the students - for every 3 rooms of carpet cleaned I will donate $25 to the school - think this will go over? I contacted 7 schools and so far 1 has responded, its not a yes but its a possibility. I had a blast at Kwasis party - Thank you Kwasi! Met many new ladies, some traveling and some from here. Many great costumes (or lack of). The stripper pole got a good workout. I will be going to Kellys party tomorrow and am looking forward to it. Unfortunatly due to the state of things - I can go to the parties, but look and not touch - hopefully things will change and soon!
Good Bye Hight and Tight
I only new High and Tight from the meet and greets and his posts on TER. He was a man who would greet you with a smile and welcome you into his world. We saw a few of the same ladies and one in particular, at every meet & greet he would ask if I saw her lately. If I had not, he would update me on how she was doing. If I had, I would update him. A few times we got messages through her. When ever she would see me, she would ask me if I saw H&T lately and how he was. Kelly Shannon posted on EB here is a link to her post http://escortblogs.net/kellyshannon.htm Here is a link to the posting on TER http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=74776&boardID=10&page=1 High and Tight - I will miss you. The Chicago community will miss you. The TER community will miss you. Good- Bye High and Tight. May you Rest in Peace - at least you are no longer in pain. We will all be joining you sooner or latter.
