IDK, I feel sorta like this:

LOL


Personally, I like

Qurus, you are a true 'blue light special'.

 

[Bunnylady]

Yeah, he's "special" alright.

Sorry, I feel less than rosy on the subject of blue lights.

My reason involves 3 miniature horses and about a dozen of these:


One of these days I'll get over it.

I got nothing but love for them boys in blue.
Seriously, they annoy us to no end when we're in the wrong, (my last speeding ticket comes to mind) but day after day, they put life and limb on the line for a crummy paycheck and a sense that they just might get a chance to make our world a tiny bit safer.
To any cops reading this... Thank you.

If any of you greenies want to send a shout out to our military men and women AKA men and women in GREEN, feel free. I'll have to put a thumb up for that one too.

And red's... Let not forget our firefighters (who often wear yellow redhen). I would never choose to drive a big red truck, (much less fight a multi-story building fire) but am thankful for those that do.

Not trying to hijack the thread here, or even make another of my silly pleas for us all to get along, but seriously.... credit where it's due folks.

I'll just step down from my soapbox now.

Sour, don't even entertain that thought again! You were the one who taught me of the duplicitous nature of Redhen . And as for you Red, you're actually quite likable but sneaky. And don't think you can get me to go to the red/yellow side because it's not happening. I'm a green for life, even my personal crest, yes I have a personal crest for real, is a sea of green with a silver lion in the top left corner and a silver fleur d' lis in the lower right hand corner.
Again, Sour don't think about it.

I guess I should explain about the blue lights. Here's the short version:

The local Christmas parade takes place after dark, and all the entries must be lighted. We'd wanted to enter it for several years, and last year, we did. ("we" means me, DD, 3 friends, and our 3 minis). Due to an oversight, the entry right behind us wound up being 12 or so of the boys in blue (I was a little too busy to count them) on motorcycles. This being our first parade, we'd have all been a bit nervous anyway, but having those motorcycles behind us revving their engines and whooping their sirens, put the minis into near panic mode. Normally, walking a horse in a small circle can help to settle it down and get it re-focused, but every time we turned around, all we could see was these dark, looming shapes and a sea of blinking blue and white lights! It was insane!

Crazy as it was, we managed. Nobody got hurt (other than some stepped-on toes and sore muscles). And as I said, I'll get over it, someday - I'm even managing to laugh a bit about it now. Incredibly, we are already talking about doing it again this year!

lady, request a position far behind the police/motorcycles. "Just sayin'".

Yeah, "behind" is really the only safe place, isn't it? There were supposed to be 3 or 4 entries between us and the bikes. but they had all dropped out by the parade start time. Because of the way the lineup was done, nobody noticed until we were in motion just what had happened! They were like

but didn't have the presence of mind to bump a couple of units from behind the police entry up in front of them. So my memories of the parade are of watching my daughter's laid-back, easygoing mini knocking her about and dragging her around, and that almost surreal scene behind us.

Note to self - start bombproofing minis TODAY.
