TSA is on Social Media

   I did not know that the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) was on Social Media.  They are on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and they also have a blog on Blogger.  There is some good information here for those who travel and I think Law Enforcement Officers will find some of their information helpful and informative.  I don't fly and haven't for years (even before 9/11), so I have no opinion to offer on TSA or flying.  I just see that the information available on these sites is good and thought I would pass it along.

   Here are the links to their sites: (including a Mobile App that appears helpful)

Cider, Doughnuts, Horses and Sheriffs - Oh My

Goodison Cider Mill Rochester, Michigan

   Took mom out for a little 'People Enrichment'  to a local Cider Mill.  

Vanilla Frosted Blueberry Doughnut at Goodison Cider Mill Rochester, Michigan

   Nice relaxing ride, good mulled cider, awesome vanilla frosted blueberry doughnut (yea I know cops and their doughnuts) and I ran into some of Oakland County's Finest on horseback.

Oakland County Sheriffs Department Mounted Unit Michigan

   These Officers patrol the Painted Creek Trail  http://paintcreektrail.org/  here in Michigan.  I am a big fan of Police Mounted Units, though I know they are expensive to operate, I believe they have a valuable place in many Law Enforcement Departments.  Not only do they serve as great ambassadors (everyone was stopping to talk with the officers and pet the horses), but they also enable the Officers to cover  a good deal of varied terrain, afford better and larger site views and are good in crowd control situations.

Enjoyed meeting with and talking to these dedicated Officers, and thanks for letting me pet your horses.

Driving and Traffic Tickets

Royal Oak Michigan Motorcycle Cop

   Is it just me, or do you feel better when these guys are in front of you than when they are behind you?

Of course I always try to obey the traffic laws (as we all should), but still feel more comfortable behind the Police.  Just saying.

How do you get out of a traffic ticket? 

 Obey the law.

Baby Boy Giraffe - He's Brand New

Giraffes at the Detroit Zoo

   This is the new baby boy Giraffe at the Detroit Zoo.

 He looks small next to mom and dad, but trust me he is a tall boy.  Baby Giraffes are usually about 6 feet tall, though I haven't heard the measurements on this guy yet.

 My question to you; how can you NOT smile when you look at this baby?
