Nearly hit by bottle while shooting...!?!

Not many of us have that luxury. What is grizzly bear pepper spray? The 45 is more familiar, living in a carry state. (But, so far, I have resisted the temptation to get a gun. Mostly I try to blend in and look like just another red neck.)

Whatever you carry, you'd better know how to use it. And if you use the .45 right, you might well end up doing some really serious time unless you can prove that the schmuck pulled one first.

A bear spray might be as efficient and nobody has ever gone to jail for using it. All you'd have to prove is that you were reasonably afraid.

I thought beer was illegal there?

Nope, just dancing


Seriously, I'm glad our mate wasn't beaned in the head with that bottle. I lived for a long time in Utah and Mormons have thier fair share of idiots just like anyone else. Hard to say the dude in the truck was Mormon though.

Come to think of it, I never did like Ogden much and generally tried to avoid it. Ogden used (1920's-1950's) to be quite the happening city with all the rail lines and supporting infastructure, but now it's (in my opinion) the armpit of Utah.

I am reminded of advice I got a long time ago. I apply it whenever trying to understand seemingly ridiculous occurances and it usually explains most of them...

"People are stupid. And they vote."

I've been shot at. I set up the 4x5 and was sitting in my car waiting for the light to get right. The bullet hit my windshield and past just to the left of my head. Does that count?

You've got to be kidding. Shot at, at random? What the hell?

[Jim Rice]

That counts. Just saying.

I was shooting architecture for an architect client in a bad part of town at twilight. I'm not sure what the beef was or with who. I'm just saying.

See what happens when you don't call a local to help you out with these situations?

I think they must have smelt the Rochester on you. Another angry Kodak shareholder...

You weren't wearing yellow and red were you?

(The old school Kodak management team was mostly U of U grads and Mormon -- former CEO Kay Whitmore is a big mucky-muck in LSD... errr LDS.)
