tell ya one thing after climbing into that bradley turret at the armor museum, i learned all new kinds of respect for our troops, i could barely fit in that thing, and i wasn't even in a armored vest or wearing a helmet.

I saw your "cave man" pics. looked comfy. Sorry about the job, but maybe it was because something better is in the works for you. Yeah, I toured a WWII sub once in Hawaii and man was IT small!

ya i had always wanted to buy a ferret scout car, but after today trying to climb into and around in that bradley turret and looking up and close at a ferret in real life, i don't think that would have been realistic of me.

YEAH, sometimes actually having "hands on" makes all the difference in the world. Things can seem smaller or larger in pictures than they really are.

Often I have a hard time relating to the actual size of something even when given the dimensions.

howdy randy, hey pit
Today we had a state trooper get rear ended.
the impact was so great the car burst into flames and the officer didnt make it.
I feel so terrible for his family, things like this really bug me. Not for the obvious reasons, but how people hold so much disdain for officers in general and how its only incidents like this that people feel any sort of compassion towards them. Im sure there are some who even hear this sort of thing and say "good riddance". i hate how this is the way we see these men and women.
Miami is no small town its no secret. This happened right by my girlfriends house (less than 4 mins away) and i drove by to see if maybe i could offer at least to buy any trooper a coffee if there were any still blocking the highway, but i didnt see anyone. I wonder how my offer would be taken by the officers...
anyway, i know we have a few LEO here and i just wanted to extend my thanks to those who do this job day to day. I hope to be among you sometime soon.
ill start a whole thread for this, i think everyone should here this and id rather it not get lost in the deathchat
