In my neck of the Canadian woods, the police frequently take off in hot pursuit, even if there's no urgency. Bystanders are all too often killed or maimed, and, inevitably, the investigation, by another police service, finds the police blameless. Yes, even when an unmarked car races through a red light merely to follow a car with a suspected fraudster. A five-year old was killed, and the police blamed his father for not realizing there was an unmarked car following someone driving at the speed limit.

You mean like McCloud from 1970?

You can take the cop off the ranch, but you can't take the ranch out of the cop.

Cartoons can be so much better that a movie, don't you think ?

Warm crusty fresh bread just picked up from the neighborhood bakery, slathered with butter and smeared with soft queso fresco cheese.

Standard breakfast in homes all over San Juan.

You're making me think of Redzinger's thread about the competition for the story 'He spent his last £30 on oysters and a bottle of champagne'.

I enjoyed the duelling pipers, Tio. Less 'two strings to her bow' and more 'two blowing on her pipes' ?
