You can, but I've got a preset 911 button on my phone--less distraction that way. Also *FHP is only good on the Interstates, on the local roads they'll redirect you to local LEO.

Yesterday we went to see Eric Church and Kenny Chesney at Raymond James Stadium and we were shocked how many people were drunk. Some were removed by the police, one was smoking weed close to us and when people behind us made a remark they moved to sit else where.

We left a little early to avoid having to dal with all the drunks and being on the road at the same time...kind of scary I have to say and I believe we had just as much a good time without the alcohol and for sure will have a better day today!

Drunks at a country music concert??? Next you'll be telling me there were a lot of pickup trucks in the parking lot?

I would have been more shocked if you said there were sober people there?

There's something to be said about heavy metal concerts. Most of them attract a pretty young crowd of non-drinkers. They just want to come, race down to the barricade, bang their heads and mosh, then limp home. Beer sales at those shows are generally very low--often because the attendees are under 21.

10.5 years with good behavior? What a smack in the face to the victims' families.
