There have been a few Starbucks-vs-police "events" lately that turned out to be less than the first report would have made people think. I'm waiting for the last shoe to drop on this one.
I have been to Starbucks maybe twice in my life - I don't know what to order. For coffee I go to Denny's if I am on the road and want to sit quietly for a while, or get whatever they have in the gas station snack bar if I just want to get back on the road. I drove 9 hours plus coming back south the Sunday after Thanksgiving, buzzing on Rotten Robbie's coffee. I haven't done that for years - my usual limit is three hours, then a nap.
As for police - a cop lied on what he wrote on a traffic ticket once, but on the other hand a Poway Sheriff Deputy let my boys off with a "scare" after he had caught them redhanded waterballooniing pedestrians from a car, so we are sort of even. My closest cousin became a career cop after he returned from the Navy, my mother was the dispatcher for the local Vermont State Police Troop for a few years, and I was soccer coaching friends with a Poway Deputy for a couple of years.
Have you figured out where you are going with this yet? I thought you were still playing D vs R games.
