...regarding speeding tickets. Heck, there's heat in Canada over that case. I read the article, and there is insufficient data in there about how the officer estimated the speed of the driver in question.Many moons ago, I was a cop (briefly) and trained in visual speed estimation for working traffic. Radars were new, and very expensive back then (not to mention dangerous to the user, though we didn't know that yet), so "visual speed estimation" was the norm, something that has been...

...here's a Muslim cleric who probably got picked last for soccer:Mus’id Anwar: "I’m sad to say that some Muslim youth memorize the results of soccer matches more than they memorize the Koran. I swear by God that this is true.

…it occurred to me that I’ve been remiss in talking about one subject pretty much any other Person of Deployment has yakked about to the collective ooohs-and-aaahs of the folks back home.Critters.I mentioned the little, bitty desert foxes back in 2008 -- they still dance around after dark, and *someone* dug a den under my hootch last winter. FYI, fox kits squeak like mice until they’re about three weeks old. And there’s a pair of jackals that commute between the FOB and the...
