The thing that scares me the most when looking at those pics isn't the volume of pieces, it's all the police patches!!! Honest to goodness, I can look at most of those patches and recall some pullover, "friendly attitude adjustment" , "what do you mean that's a controlled substance?" or "What stupid seatbelt law" discussions with some man (and the occasional woman) who wore those patches- I can CLEARLY see the City of Baltimore and the NYNJ Port Authority who were some of my more recent run-ins.
If you don't have any DC Metro police, City of Harrisburg (Pa) Police (or Capital Area police), Pa or Maryland State police patches, let me know, given the law of averages, I am bound to have a run in with one of these groups here soon. I can put in a word for you- some have given me spare patches when they find out I was in the Army.
Actually, the last group I dealt with were the Feds (work related fellas
).
I love the police and all things law enforcement (in fact, I am sitting here in my "Keep Mumia in jail T-Shirt I received at a rally for slain City of Philly police officer Daniel Faulkner), it just seems that whenever I get pulled over, stopped in public, etc it's always some 22 or 24 year old who is looking to make a name for him/herself and they try to do it at my expense.
At any rate, Larry, I love the room- it looks fantastic!! You clearly have a tremendous collection that would be the apple of anyone's eye.
Best wishes and a big double thank you for performing such a thankless job. I certainly would never be up to that monumental task.
