Was headed down to Vernon the other day and noticed that somebody had
parked a nice Gold Wing crosswise of a driveway behind a large SUV.
Was headed back from Vernon and saw a flat Wing in the driveway with
the SUV parked on top of it and a bunch of folks running in circles
screaming and shouting.

        Probably concerned about the SUV being OK :-)

Back when I took driver's ed, the right right procedure was to put an arm at
the top of the passenger's seat, rotate the body, and actually look out the
back window.

A lost art, apparently.

I remember thinking when I saw it that it was so close behind that it
might be below the driver's line of sight. Apparently I was right.

Saw a CA CHP on a BMW trying to pull over a large semi-truck on the highway.
Cop was maybe 5-10 feet away from the guy's bumper with all his lights on
(like they do when trying to stop the average car driver). No way the
driver could see him. I stayed back to watch the fun.

He tailed the guy for maybe 3-4 miles before some other trucker must have
told the guy on a CB there was a cop on his tail.

Cop may have tasered the driver and beaten him senseless for attempting to
flee. Maybe not.
