Show Page Two - The Pyramid - April 15, 1998 RflMEKnMY Merrill Ogden How am I driving? Dear Editor: April this n that Today is the big day. If you havent got your tax return ready for mailing, then its time to dash to the public library and casually ask for a photocopy of the extension form. You can mail that in and prolong the agony for a few more weeks. There is a lot of talk out there about overhauling the IRS. But so far its just talk. I keep thinking that a national sales tax could be implemented that could replace income tax. That kind of a tax would affect everyone. The drug dealer who buys a top of the line luxury car would have to pay the tax on it. It would finally be a way to get tax from illegal incomes. The underground economy would be hard hit. Taxes are depressing. Lets move onto something else. I hope your Easter weekend was enjoyable. We picnicked at Palisade Park on Saturday. It was a great day except the wind blew like nobodys business. We looked at the lake and wished we had brought surf-- . boards. The hurricane had driven other folks into their cars and trailers, the wimps. We braved the gale and settled in at a picnic table. A couple of us about turned into trying to put down the tablecloth. In spite of the wind, we ate our lunch and rolled eggs down the hill. We decided that "if you cant beat em, join em. We "joined the wind" by pulling kites out of the trunk. It was a high flyin kite day. para-saile- rs As you pass more and more semi and small company trucks these days, you see the words "How am 1 driving?" on the back of the truck or trailer. The sticker usually ask the question and then gives a phone number to call and give the company an idea of how their drivers are doing. Some may call to complain or others may call to say the driver was doing a good job. As troopers, our license plate number is the same as our badge number. So, if a trooper has some bad driving habits, its pretty easy to track down the driver. I always thought it would be a great idea to put a sticker on my teenagers car with my home number to see how many calls I would receive. Some days I would probably have to take the phone off the hook! The longer I work for the UHP, the more I believe that the vast majority of us have forgotten that the rules do apply to us. It seems to me that everyone just gets in their car and their mind set is: get out of my way. Im in a hurry. I need to be first. They might feel its okay to speed, just dont get caught, or you dont really have to come to We had a great Easter feast on Sunday. It was a Norbest turkey day. Its a wonderful fragrance in the house when the turkey is in the oven. Im enjoying the leftovers. Pass the cranberries. Theres a list going around in circles called, and I paraphrase: "100 reasons its terrific to be a Guy." A sampling of the reasons go as 2 Movie nudity is follows: virtually all female; 8 You can open all your own jars; 18 You can go to the bathroom without a support group; 30 Wedding plans take care of themselves; 52 Michael Bolton doesnt live in your universe; 60 The world is your urinal; 76 If you retain water, its in a 89 Princess Dis canteen; death was just another obitu100 99 Baywatch; ary; Theres always a game on somewhere. " There was a short list of 10 "downside" items about being a guy: 1 you have to take out the garbage; 10 "Women and children first". The lists are funny and have a few nuggets of truth mixed in. However, I can debunk some of it. I saw the movie, "The Man in the Iron Mask." That show alone proves that movie nudity is not virtually all female. If you ladies want to see Gerard Depardieus backside, there it Leonardo shines Decaprio again. Its good to see some of the old classics revived for the modern screen...

ClEflRl'MHE You dont think speeding is wrong, but its one of the major causes of accidents and whether you want to believe it or not, your children watch you and will mirror your actions. If they grow up watching you break the law, then you cant really blame them; they are just being like you. Its time to the way we do things. Maybe we should drive thinking we have a bumper sticker with our phone number asking, "How am I driving?" i . Safe neighborhood meeting scheduled yawag 16.

Another is why signal, theyll get out of my way as I start to move over. There are a few major problems with this mind set. First, you do have to obey the traffic laws so we can all reach our destinations safely. The road is not yours, it is ours and we must share and be as courteous as possible to allow traffic to move smoothly. More importantly, think about who is in the car with you. Its their lives you are risking. Plus, if its okay for you to speed or ignore traffic laws, then it must be alright for your children to do the same when they reach the age a (2D0echd oCEBQEEBenB Phone take City.
