    One more thing...

    Every time we meet another person, that person sizes us up. There was something about you that gave them the impression that they could punk you. My guess is it was your being very nice and open...discussing personal information.

    Keep em guessing next time, okay?

    The first time we met the exchange was casual and civil, I didn't share any in depth information other than I was married with a child because they asked how I felt about being gone all week and if I had a family at home. I'm usually very laid back and conversational in interviews to try and get the interviewer to look past my size and appearance. (You'd be surprised how many folks give me a strange look and judgemental glances when interviewing.) My guess is they felt safe behind their phones because I'm almost 2 hours away, unlike most of their drivers who live within a few miles of the yard. I know now in the future to share the absolute bare minimum.

    Same could be said for any caliber really. It's all about shot placement.

    No.

    What we have done is not to use Bumper Stickers at all. That time has passed. There was a time you did use those of all kinds across the USA. These days you did not because it causes trouble that is not wanted or necessary.

    Im pretty moderate. One of the reasons I left Social Media is because there were too many who were much more extreme than I was during certain issues that were a potential problem in those days. Social media became a liability.

    I think at some point even having a conversation would itself be a liability the way things are going. That is one reason we have considered ourselves lucky to lived the way we have chosen to live while it was possible to choose how you would like to live.

    Remember the days when cars had big, heavy chrome bumpers to put stickers on? Now they have plastic bumper covers that don’t look right with stickers on them. You’re right about attracting attention from liberals. Now I just buy T shirts and selectively choose when to piss them off.

    Now shirts I have.

    I have alot of fun with them. One in particular is a favorite. Features three Lions, and the words... you can live one day as a Lion or a thousand as a sheep.

    You should see some of certain people turn different colors when they take a moment and read it. I have alot of fun with that one.
