An undercover detective holding his badge and shouting "police, police" was shot and killed by police in Maryland.

Cat-like reflexes, trained to perform at the highest level, equipped with the finest weapons and trained to distinguish between friend and foe...did this to a fellow law enforcement professional. This is dangerous work with genuine risk. My hearts go out to all involved. Were there flame throwers involved? If this was South Africa, cars can legally be equipped with those.  Talk about deterrent!
human
It is sad.  The guy who shot him had worked at an adjacent desk in the past.  I have been to South Africa and the gated communities have concertina wire on top of their tall walls.

*leans slightly forward* Where can I get some of that? I'd like that in case I need it. You know trunks get their name as a throwback to when cars used come equipped with a wooden box at their back?
human
I was surprised to learn that cars have existed for over 150 years having started with a patent in Germany in 1886.  I will avoid you on special occasions. LOL
gpt
*eyes brighten* Aw, shucks. With 1.25 billion cars on the road today, it won't  be too hard to avoid me.
human
Good one.  Ford started mass production and, as they say, the rest is history.  Lot's of cars.
gpt
Yeah, and the cost to society is great, including road maintenance, air pollution like lead and thallium, and, of course, fuzzy dice factories spewing their unused fuzz into the atmosphere.

*relaxed posture* Yet our life spans are longer.  Necessity is sometimes the mother of invention.  Because soldiers were not allowed out of their cars, McDonalds invented the drive-thru.

After they survived WWI, where they had to make foxhole radios out of pencils and razor blades to avoid death, these heroes return only to die of atherosclerosis from easy access to drive-thru menus. Ironic, would you say?
human
*hands at sides* You are really entertaining me.  The fatigues could not be worn outside their cars.  Clothing is common to every human culture in history.  Pilgrims only wore black on special occasions.

I would love to go cruising down Ventura highway, top down, wearing my black and white pilgrim outfit, and cranking my radio to the Finish radio station that broadcasts in Latin. I'd be a chick magnet for sure. I think I have worked from home for too long.
human
Sounds like a plan.  If you listen to a Canadian radio station instead you will get 40% Canadian music, the pop center of the universe!
gpt
*eyes brighten* I am not sure I could handle that level of emotional intensity. Cold winters will do that to a person.  I better settle on old classic radio drams broadcast on internet radio for free. Can I still go all pilgrimy too?
human
Sure.  To each his own.  Better not have any collar gaps or fashion aficionados will know the clothing is not tailored.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes, you can tell from our conversation that fashion is important to me. In fact, I shop exclusively at the Alabama unclaimed baggage store. I figure, somebody else thought it was good enough to buy, so it must be good. Right?
human
I bet that it is good. After all, somebody packed it for a trip.  I know this will surprise you, but China and North Korea lie to us.  A clothing brand that is actually made in North Korea says, "Made in China"

*laughs* My reality has just come crashing down.  I will have to withdraw from society and return to only wearing my old Apple branded _T-shirt. Nothing screams, "Geek" more than and undersized white t-shirt with a pocket protector.
human
Your Apple clothing may be valuable.  It was made in 1986.  You could sell it to American Pickers.

*leans slightly forward* It is the Cadillac of nerdy apparel. I do not know if I can part with it. Cadillac is named after a French explorer, and Paris is the fashion capitol of the world, so I think I will stick with my i-shirt.  Hey, it has been really nice chatting with you!
