    Haven't tried Rick's (Grandma's?) shop - not close to home.

    All-time favorite is Giordano's out of Chicago. Yummmm.

    +1 on Giordano's. The misses and I are going to Chicago in 2 weeks and already planning on an afternoon at the original Giordano's.

    i agree. he paid his speeding fine, and the infraction has no bearing on his ability to perform his job.

    regardless of your job, it's the court system's responsibility to punish you for breaking laws, not your employer's.

    to me, this is really not different than if he'd be convicted of tax evasion...

    that's not to say there aren't offenses that I think he SHOULD have been fired for. (i.e. a violent crime)

    IMO, I don't think he deserves his job back. With the laws he broke and I'm sure there were a few COBC violations for the GPD that were broken, he got what he deserved. If they would have charged him with everything they would have charged you or I with he wouldn't see a drivers license for a few years. No drivers license = no patrol duty or in my case no job. This idiot got off easy.

  17. you thought texting & driving was bad

    FHP: Driver lacked razor-sharp focus

    BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff

    As authorities nationwide warn motorists of the dangers of driving while texting, Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates, either.

    Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.

    "She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Trooper Gary Dunick said. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot ... who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it."

    If that weren't enough, Megan Mariah Barnes was not supposed to be driving and her 1995 Ford Thunderbird was not supposed to be on the road.

    The day before the wreck, Barnes was convicted in an Upper Keys court of DUI with a prior and driving with a suspended license, said Monroe County Assistant State Attorney Colleen Dunne. Barnes was ordered to impound her car, and her driver's license was revoked for five years, after which time she must have a Breathalyzer ignition interlock device on any vehicle she drives, Dunne said. Barnes also was sentenced to nine months' probation.

    Barnes and Charles Judy were southbound in her Thunderbird at 11 a.m. when they slammed into the back of a 2006 Chevrolet pickup driven by David Schoff of Palm Bay. His passengers were a man and two women; the latter were treated for minor injuries at Lower Keys Medical Center, FHP spokesman Alex Annunziato said.

    Schoff had slowed to about 5 mph to make a turn when the Thunderbird hit him, traveling about 45 mph, which was within the speed limit, Dunick said.

    Barnes allegedly drove another half-mile, then switched seats with Judy, who allegedly claimed to be driving, Annunziato said.

    "She jumps in the back seat and he moves over," Dunick said. "It was like the old comedy bit, 'Who's on first?' "

    Burns on Judy's chest from the passenger-side airbag deploying belied their story, Dunick said. The airbag in the steering wheel did not deploy, he said.

    Troopers charged Barnes with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a wreck with injuries and driving with no insurance. Judy was not charged.

    Barnes faces a maximum of a year in jail if found guilty of violating her probation due to the wreck, Dunne said.

    "My phone has been ringing off the hook all day, and I know there's a funny side to this, but it's also deadly serious. This is a scary road and a lot of bad wrecks are caused by dumb stuff like this," Dunick said. "It is unbelievable. I'm really starting to believe this stuff only happens in the Keys."

    I went to the fall race about 5 years ago and it was a blast. The view on TV doesn't do the place justice. To see 150k people stacked around a 1/4 mile track is awesome. It is one hell of a party too. We camped on what used to be the top of a mountain that they chopped off about a mile from the track, just above the drag strip.
