In their case they'd be much better off if the police didn't recognize them, IMO.

You're right, I don't get it. Thankfully. I've grown to appreciate and embrace seeming archaic and out of touch by today's generation (and I'm "only" 43!) . The badge of honor for me isn't projecting an aura of wealth or ostentatiousness, it's in a young kid calling me an asshole for wearing a watch. (I know you…

All of us can't be lonely unemployed drifters.

Well, I am an accountant. Although I have thick lustrous hair.

Wow. I don't really know to reply to that without sounding trite, that's just flat out heartbreaking to read and my prayers are with you and anybody else who's had to endure that kind of evil and I greatly admire you for using that pain to help others.
