He is under no obligation to divulge anything to anyone and people who are irritated about cliffhangers need to understand that he owes none of us anything and can post whatever he wants as frequently as he wants and as esoterically as he wants. The rest of us can scour daily for new posts, occasionally pass by, wander off never to return... we can be vocally supportive of him or disparage other posters for doing what they do best - saying what's on their minds. None of us are obligated in any way. We are not obligated to feel at ease when our curiosity is burning, we are not obligated to even be interested because we read. We are not obligated to respond nor are we obligated to respect what others say. We are not obligated to be respectful in any way - but how we are judged by others is their own prerogative and I'm sure they continue to exercise it in type or silently. D owes none of us his story and can throw out bits to satisfy us, tempt us, assuage his own sense of duty, or just set them free to the universe as a minimalistic yet self-centric cathartic gesture. His domain, his rules. Drooling at the keyboard as though it is the next As The World Turns isn't going to make the man feel safe to have his entrails spread out Jackson Pollock-like more than he already does. It might make him irritated, it might make him chuckle... I'd like to think he gets some well deserved ego rubs and a good laugh now and again that makes it all worth while. I also like to think that for better or worse this guy is setting a prime example for Life After Wow.

I've heard stories that DC cops will actually eat their young! Let's just say what you describe shouldn't happen, but economic benefit through moving citations may be a motivator for some agencies. Sad. /apologies to BRK for that long, original reply. Too long! @Persequi – I’m on the West Coast. I’ve heard stories that DC cops will actually eat their young!

Why in God's name would Daniel allow that? It wouldn't be necessary and is a completely awkward situation. I have my fingers crossed that that's not what happened because that would have been truly terrible. And what makes you think the BF traveled along with her?

Cops here have one skill and one skill only. That is to give out tickets. Crime occurs here all the time and don't get solved but tickets are handed out like candy on Halloween. After all, the counties have to get their budgets straightened out and what better way than to increase the budget input by tickets. BRK: Glad to see you got away with this one. Love your blog and follow it. Hope everything gets straightened out soon. To Nite:
