My fraternity brothers always said that drinking whiskey helps cure you. And they'd always end up sicker and worse off. I would not want them taking care of me when I was sick.

Isn't it amazing how you forget what it's like to feel healthy?

Exactly. The alcohol kills bacteria... I thought that was common knowledge.

I was sick about 2 weeks ago for a couple days. Drank half a bottle of Makers Mark on Friday night and woke up Saturday feeling great!

I got 2 red-light tickets in the mail for turning right on a red light even though there are no signs saying I can't turn. How much of a pain in the ass are these things to fight?

I just got one in the mail for the exact same thing. I'm leaning towards just paying it (its $50 here in Knoxville).

 

In my case I think it's a case of not coming to a complete stop before turning right, which is against TN law, so I'm definitely in the wrong legally. Of course, there was a green right turn arrow that I apparently just missed, but I doubt I can win that argument.

How can a camera tell that though?

They actually send you three photos, each one is one second apart. Also, you can go online and watch the video of the event.

This. I got a ticket for turning right on a red and not coming to a complete stop. I watched the video of it online, I was about a split second away from reaching a complete stop, but I was definitely moving the whole time. There went $100 to the citizens of Franklin Park from LittleHurt05.

The website says something about not using the video in court. That's interesting.

Yeah, to confirm what other's have stated, you didn't come to a complete stop. There's no way you'll win either of these.

It's an easy, indisputable revenue stream that doesn't require raising taxes. You can't beat it.

That's really all it is. I hate the fact that they insist it's for "safety".

 

I've seen a number of people slam on their brakes the second the light turns yellow so they don't get caught by the cameras.

 

Hoping not to start a conversation that has to be moved to Filibuster. Just thought it was funny.

Gonna brag here for a second: Got my 5th and 6th graders to a 4 and 0 record after a blow out win today. Much more fun than I ever thought I'd have coaching, real solid experience so far!

Already happened after our first game. I accidentally forgot to play a kid in the 4th quarter and his dad let me know about it. I'm pretty good at splitting up playing time though, everyone gets pretty equal PT until the last 5 or so minutes of the game when the best kids play.

It'll get worse. Trust me.

Just a counter point, the lights in my old town that put in cameras saw a drastic decrease in accidents.

Did you eat lucky charms after the game, coach leprechaun?

Drinking kills brain cells.

It was 67 degrees here in Knoxville today. My buddies and I just sat outside all day and chilled... unfortunately, it's supposed to be in the 20s again by Wednesday so it was fun while it lasted.

Sounds like you guys are going to get a nasty ice storm out of this.
