Now, within two weeks he's gone!</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Man...we should all be so lucky when our times come. At least he didn't have to suffer through chemo and a lot of pain.

LOCAL POLICE PATROL THE INTERSTATE?<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;">On a recent trip from Harriman to Memphis, I noticed all along the way that city police either had vehicles stopped along I-40 or were just sitting, sometimes in groups up to 4 cars, in the median watching the traffic go by. <span style="font-weight: bold;">My question is why?!</span><br /><br />Why should local law enforcement, city police units, be patrolling the Interstate? Is this a new revenue source for the small towns?<br /><br />It was a city police officer that pulled my friend <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://fathairybastard.blogspot.com/2009/08/beale-street-and-fun-in-memphis.html">Jeff </a>over this last trip. He was following me, and did, because the cop was riding his bumper, move over out of the way, probably cutting in front of a semi just a little too close. However, it appeared to Jeff that the police vehicle wanted by quickly!<br /><br />It seems to me that local police should only be patrolling and protecting the citizens that pay for their services. The Highway Patrol organizations are paid to patrol the state and national highways! Aren't they?<br /><br />I know that the Interstate system is used to distribute illegal aliens and drugs, but our local police forces aren't paid to do the policing. Are they?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you think?</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
