DRIVE SAFELY. CHP ON DUTY

As I read the flashing sign on our way over to visit Corey this long Labor Day weekend, I couldn't help but wonder, how many people reading this would view it as a "comfort" or as a "threat"? I wonder what a poll would show? It occurred to me that not that long ago it would have been comforting to me, to know the police were on hand to assist in any emergency. Today, with what we have learned about the mass spying on of Americans (of everyone worldwide), in this new era where police are part of what many see has turned America into a "police state", my instant feelings were not as they once were even a few short years ago.
