  • You are complete on point. When I was a kid (GenX) justice was metered out with fists if you got way out of line at the bar. In a way I prefer the old system because, and like you say now you are only accountable to the camera.

    Beatings heal and it doesn’t follow you like a video of you showing your ass at the bar/where ever.

    But you can’t fight the insurance companies, if they want cameras/scanners or they are going to double your rates you know whats going to happen. The issue I have with cameras is its a double edge sword. It can bite you as much as it can save you.



  • I can back this up my parents owned bars and restaurants and the insurance companies and local police would constantly push that we had scanners.

    We knew as soon as it got around that we were scanning ID our bars would tank. The irony was the people that push for them would be the first customers we would lose. We were known as a cop friendly bar, and all the local government people would frequent too. No way they would want to be seen as a regular in a database.

    We also had no camera’s in the bar/restaurant area for the same reason. My old man was big on privacy…







  • Total bonus this time of year! I’m in rural northern Virginia and thats a nice haul considering its mid summer.

    I’ll go out this week and hit my buddies farm and see what I can find. It has cooled off here so I might get more than chanterelles and maybe chicken but not holding my breath.

    Foraging is so much fun!
