I.  A Cop’s Advice - Advice from me on what to do and what not to do if/when you are pulled over.  If you don't like the advice I give feel free to go somewhere else and get advice there.

      A.  Alarms - Got an alarm system in your house or business?  Good for you, skippy.

      B.  Calling 911 - Don't know what 911 is for?  Put down the Rubik's Cube you've been working on since 1982 and read this page.

      C.  DTLA - Some driving advice for the learning-disabled.

      D.  Illegal Parking - Yes, it is still illegal for you to park in the fire lane even if you are only going to "run in and run out" of the store.

      E.  Influence - Why I think it's a bad idea to give special favors to one segment of the population.

      F.  Not Pulling Over - See that police car in your rearview mirror?  Get the hell out of the way!

      G.  Seat Belts - If you don't routinely wear your seat belt you are an idiot.

      H.  Stupid Calls - Examples of things that made me want to ask, "You called the police for this?"

II.  Baseball - Musings on my favorite game.

      A.  Artificial Turf - A brief diatribe on turf as well as the designated hitter.  Both suck.

      B.  Base Stealing - An often misused strategy.

      C.  Batting Order - Rarely does the batting order of a team make any sense when put into the proper context.

      D.  Closers - How idiot managers are pricing their bullpens off their teams and out of baseball.

      E.  OPS - A better way of determining how skilled a hitter is.

      F.  Records - Context, context, context.

      G.  Salaries - Do I think they are too high, too low, or just about right?  Hmmm...

III.  Batman - I am really, really into the stories of the Dark Knight.  Really.

IV.  Biography - The thirty-second version of my A&E special which has yet to air.

V.  Chess - For the first fifteen years of my life I assumed I sucked at chess, because the only person I ever played was my father.  He is terrific at chess and beat me every single time.

      A.  History of Chess - After all the research that went into this page I hope at least one person actually reads it.

      B.  The Immortal Game - Get a board and run through the moves.  They are truly impressive.

VI.  Conspiracy Theories - They are out there.  No, this doesn't mean I'm crazy.

      A.  Project Bluebook - All about Area 51 and aliens.  No, this doesn't mean I'm crazy.

      B.  The JFK Assassination - Oswald did not shoot Kennedy.  Yes, really.  No, this doesn't mean I'm crazy.

      C.  The Truth About Marijuana - It's only illegal because a rich white guy wanted to get richer.  Yes, really.  No, this doesn't mean I'm crazy.

      D.  MK-Ultra - True story about how the CIA researched mind-controlling drugs.  No, I'm not crazy.

      E.  Project Paperclip - Nazi scientists worked on the American space program.  Yes, really.  Me = not crazy.

      F.  The Shroud of Turin - This is not the burial cloth of Jesus.  Honest.  No, I'm not crazy.

VII.  FAQ - I get lots of emails.  Hopefully this will intercept a few.

VIII.  Index (Home Page) - You only get one chance to make a first impression.  If you didn't like the one my home page left on you, I'm sure you'll get over it.

IX.  Legal Stuff - Probably an exercise in futility.  Lawsuits have become the national pastime.

X.  Links Page - Only check these out after you've looked at and appreciated every single page in my site.  Hello?  Still reading?

XI.  Philosophy - In case you were looking for more of my thoughts.

XII.  Police Firearms Training - Help is available here for overwhelmed police firearms instructors.

XIII.  Rants - Thank you, Dennis Miller, for the title.

XIV.  Reconstruction - I love accident reconstruction.  Yes, really.  No, I'm not kidding.

XV.  Search This Site - A quick way to find the most annoying words.

XVI.  Table of Contents - You are here.  Stop looking around you - I meant... oh, nevermind.

XVII.  Urban Legends - A couple of brief examples.
