[#0000FF]As I mentioned to Curt, I agree 100% on the need to heavily patrol the Sardine Canyon stretch of highway. Can't believe how many boneheads I have had blow by me even when I was "a bit" over the speed limit. I do try to keep it down, both in the interest of public safety and my net worth.
My major peeve...as we seem to agree...is the almost exclusionary attitude of the constabulary in Mantua. Seems like they view visitors as an interruption of their daily routine and a nuisance to be run off rather than as a potential source of business and revenue for area businesses.
As a semi serious float tuber and moderator of the Float Tube boards on BFT, I get a lot of PMs from folks who solicit my sympathy and kindly words when they have been unjustifiably aggrieved by Barney (and similar ilk). Hard to believe that any public entitiy...private or government...would tolerate having employees who went out of their way to create ill will. But at Mantua it seems to almost be a requirement.
I used to love that little lake, and the surrounding area. After a particularly distasteful discussion with one of their overbearing representatives I have not been fishing there for about 6 years. Nobody who matters probably notices or cares. But I do.
