Taking a little time away from Facebook? Check. All sorts of extra exposure for herself and her business? Check. Got her account back? Check. Sounds like she came out of this smelling like roses. It was probably some other rival photographer that complained. That'd be funny if Facebook ever let it be known who actually complained. On the flip side, I'm sure she has never used Facebook to laugh at someone else's misfortune. Better expect some ridicule on these forums. Of course, if she did all this to get a lousy Facebook account back, I am guessing she has some thick skin. Good on her for beating the system.
3 comments. 1) I came here to see who was the first to comment that the streets aren't safer with these cameras. Congrats to Hedgeman1 I am leaving satisfied thanks to his well thought out comment. 2) I laughed at the Red SUV that missed this girl in the first place and as soon as the truck hit her, the SUV drove off to the left like nothing had happened. "Well, I missed her, I may as well go about my business and not offer any assistance. I have to get to Starbucks and pick up the drycleaning.....busy, busy, busy" Props to Kissme11 and tandog as well for noticing. 3) I'd be checking miss Scharmer's cell phone for texting times around the time of accident. I'm not saying.....I'm just saying.
I don't remember a story about a semi losing control in the s-curves since the speed camera went up. Not saying that it hasn't happened but I don't recall one. I know driving down 380 seems to be much slower now and not near as many people racing in and out of lanes. I know I was one of those people prior to the cameras so it looks like they are doing what they should. But then, I am not worried about perceived invasions of privacy or any of that stuff.
The pictures now up just scream "I'm here for my job interview, when do I start?" I'm sure they think they are really cool and tough. Too bad they won't get anything more than a slap on the wrist.
While I think coach Ferentz has every right to speak on public issues (The public knows his salary and more about him than any of the rest of us), I do not agree with this law. I went to school at Iowa. I turned 19 in October my Freshman year so I was going to bars early on and drinking heavily. When I turned 21, I almost never went anymore and if I did, I drank responsibly. The excitement wasn't there anymore. Turn the law back to 18 and I think you'd see just as many 18 year olds getting drunk as you do now. But I bet the 19 and 20 year old number drops like a lead balloon. Just one man's opinion who was helped out the door at many of those establishments.
I love how RabbiPedro has a negative five rating at the time of this post and Hellbilly has a Positive two in response to Skylane69 when it is totally obvious he is just sarcastically agreeing with RabbiPedro and bashing Skylane69. On a seperate note, I hope they catch these idiots and make them do community service until their hands bleed.
Good for you Kevin! Good luck this upcoming season!
80 in a 70 is still over the LIMIT. I drive from CR to DM almost daily during the week. I set the cruise at 75ish. Now, if I get pulled over, I was still OVER the limit so I can't complain if i get a ticket. The problem people have is the limit was set at 65, so folks drive 70-75. When they raise the limit to 70, people just moved up to 75-80. Not every speeder is going to get caught, just like not every guy who robs someone is going to get caught. But for those that do, they'll pay for their crime and then think about it a little harder the next time. We could always do what they do in I think it's Norway. The fine is based on your income. I think the Nokia CEO got some sort of fine over a million US dollars. That's a FINE!!! :)
The letter was sent the day before Nebraska made their announcement. Perhaps they were looking out for ISU? I'm guessing this had little to do with the Big Ten's Tax Exempt status and more to do with the idea that they were going to break up the Big XII and leave ISU out in the cold. Texas stayed, the Big XII is safe for now and so I am also guessing that neither senator will care or follow-up with the Big Ten. But, I've been wrong before.
Being there in October in that rain, I can't imagine that stadium could get any louder. The thing that could really make it quieter though is an Adrian Clayborn block. :)
