That might be cute on a 2 year old.

Gotta give the students at Northwestern who put this on Kickstarter credit for initiative! This will end up being another questionable fashion choice - I can't talk, I used to wear bell bottom jeans dragging on the ground and bib overalls and cruel shoes.

$350.00 in parking tickets, wife in Chicago, to add salt to the wound... I think a Fujifilm GX690 III is in order.

Okay, I have been sitting here scanning the news and came across the new fashion trend for men, the romper or as it is named the Romphim. It is a real thing. Somehow I just can't see me wearing one. Gary on the other hand might look good sitting next to Mary Lou sipping wine in one.

I for one hopes this is not a trend that catches on.

From what I could see (which is jammin' little at the moment), it wasn't too bad. I'll take a purple one.

Okay, we have you down for a purple Romphim. Would you like matching or contrasting buttons and/or stitching???

How about this one instead. You can't get much more patriotic than that.

It makes no difference. I don't plan on wearing it; I'm going to hoist it up the flag pole of a local establishment.

Humanity as we know it is over. I can not wait to see someone wearing one of these in public. This is getting out of hand. Peg, only look with one eye.

This is too scary.

Well it's only $350 as of now. Woman in Chicago fighting more than $100,000 in parking fines and penalties on her junk car

Park in the space marked "Reserved for Mayor"

Picked up a super clean Pentax P30T with a flash, 50mm SMC A f/2. Salvation Army, $8.00. All plastic but feels good in hand. Meter works, viewfinder clear and clean. Light seals in good order. Don't really need it but for $8.00, can't go wrong. Real basic starter camera.

Nice find, JC. I've almost got the first roll of film finished in the N75. (yes...the fact that its taken me a couple months to get through a 36 exposure roll is ridiculous. I hope that I got some nice shots to share. I have like 3-4 old rolls to send in to be developed too...I've been slacking like crazy.

When Gary was working news and before being issued a company car ... Gary collected 26 parking tickets. Gary was at a party and asked a judge friend what he should do as they were 'unpaid' ... the judge initially walked away ... then he returned and said to plea-bargain the mess down to manslaughter.

That's funny.

The city prosecutor would always come to us with the defense attorney and ask our opinion of what we should do on a particular case. On the traffic cases, unless the cited individual was a complete jerk, I would tell them to just take it to court and we would see that they got a fair trial and a clean hanging. It didn't take long for them to figure out that if I said that, what ever they and the court worked out was fine with me.

The interesting question to me would be who's name is on the parking summons. Here if you fail to pay your parking tickets the First name on the title is the one that the warrant is issued for. That is why my car has me listed first and my wife listed second. On her car SHE is listed first and me second. First time a warrant notice showed up in our mailbox in her name for her parking tickets also became the last time she had an unpaid parking ticket.

... Gary decided to sell the car. (Between the sale and statute of limitations, Gary thinks he got cleanly away.)

Gary used to run political campaigns on the side. The money was good, but it was more of a hobby/moonlighting than an occupation. Gary ran a few judicial races and consequently spent a lot of time in court, waiting for a break to speak to the judge/candidate. All the judges would ask Gary for input on sentencing.

The Judges here would often ask for my input on my cases. Again, unless the person was a certified Jerk or there were certain extenuating circumstances, I would leave it to the discretion of the court. I figure that I did my part up front, and again when I had to go to court, besides there aren't enough jail cells. locks, and places to throw the key away to solve the problem. Besides if we put them all in jail and threw away the keys there would be no one to ask me if I wanted fries with that.
