    I do know Queen city our runs were either DFW or Hou, i use to stop at wal mart in Atlanta.

    We were running through the woods in Henderson and all that, went thru all small towns in the area throughout the years.

    Cool. I usually get the "Where in the Heck is that?" look when I try to tell people where I'm from.

    Probably been said before, but as a driver I look down on the security guard, since I'm sitting about 6+' up in the air...<ducks>

    Seriously though, I never seem to have problems with those folks. Usually they are wearing a name tag, so I always address them by their given name like, "Good Morning Joe! How are you today? My name is Glenn and I'm here to deliver, to (company name). Can you help me out? Here's my paperwork if you need it." If they were grumpy to begin with, the greeting usually gives them a sec to ease up on the attitude.

    I find that hard to believe. Someone will have to be a overflowing EGO to maintain a grudge for a failed BG...

    If they are showing anger over a check maybe a harder tour in academy or military will break em down further.

    You would be surprised and when I say background I mean anything. I've seen it happen. Hospital security guards etc. Now I had polygraphs, 500 question and a pt test to pass. Sadly almost anyone can get on most departments now.

    Hmmm, then maybe Kapernick can get off his knees and actually DO something about police/community relations?

    Nah, he'd have to give up that fat paycheck of his. I wonder how he can stomach being paid in American dollars?
