Yea, thought of that, but I checked them after getting to work, they were both out.

@humfrz

I have a sleep number.
It's basically an adjustable air mattress.

BIG problem is the dual chamber ones like I have will form a fat sag in the middle between the chambers after a few years.

Don't waste your money.
Get something else.

Always use "Sheriff Taylor", makes all the difference.

I'm not asking much... All I'm asking for is nachos or chips and salsa. Is that too much?

Tried to find a photo on their Facebook page but didn't see him. They do have all their patrol officers listed on their web page though.

Kind of wish I had been pulled over by Officer Chiquita Thomasson, think I would have remembered her name.

Now, THAT reminds me of the time, back in CT, in my MGB-GT when I was roaring down a backroad on my way to work. I reckon this sheriff thought I was driving too fast and signaled me to pull over. I drove on a few hundred yards to find a safe place to pull over, which must have pissed the LEO off.

I pulled into a farm lane and got out of my car. That's when the LEO gave me a raft of shit about not pulling over right away. Note: those backroads in CT have trees right up to the edge of the road. I tried to explain that it would have been unsafe to stop in the road. After addressing the officer as "sir", several times, SHE explained that SHE was a female -

I knew I was dead in the water, I just shut the hell up and took the ticket -
