i remember the first time xshub drove xsteen to the Gonzaga mixer [all boys school invites Visitation girls to MIX at mixers] He saw thugs/drug dealers all around the streets near Gonzaga and he had to wait until she was safely LOCKED IN [yes indeed, they do lock them in at dances, both at Gonzaga and when Visitation is hosting] and then he just sat there for the few hours that they were at the mixer, and then scooped her and her friend right back up!

If we would all just get a co-exist sticker for our cars it would change the world.

I cringe every time I see one of those stickers. I know there is an idiot on the road with me and I pay careful attention to them.
