Seen Around Camden

03/04/08 While on my way home from Brunswick this afternoon (no new skin cancers - sorry), I crossed the I-95 S bridge over the tail end of Crooked River. Parked there on the southbound side, well off the pavement and onto the grass, with its bumper about touching the concrete bridge rail, was a red, civilian pickup truck with Camden plates. Could not see the driver, who was no doubt down at the edge of the creek seeing if perhaps some redfish had mosied that far west. Now, back in my fishing days, I might very well have succumbed to that same curiosity, were it not for the sure and certain knowledge that I would have gotten a ticket. But, no such worries for the driver of that truck. I had no sooner deduced why the truck was there than I realized that there was not a ghost of a chance in hell the driver would even be disturbed, much less ticketed. Who can tell me how I knew that? By the way, I'll come back to this post from time to time to post more dated "sightings." You might want to check it now and again. If you folks see anything suspicious, curious, humorous, tragic, or otherwise interesting here in Camden, post it here in "commments."

He had a Bill "piece of" Smith Sticker?

Speaking of BTW, I heard that he was at the new sports bar and really had a big time. Fortunately for him, he had Griffis Cab to give him a ride. Oh, yeah, imagine their surprise when the probable DUI call they were responding to turned out to be BTW.
Anyone else heard this ?

Exactamento! The truck had a big - basketball-sized - "Smith for Sherifff '08" sticker on his rear window, just behind where the driver's head would be.

Was he really fishing, or just defiantly flying the BTW flag out on the interstate on a day when a federal grand jury was hearing evidence against him in Savannah?

I'm not up on all characters associated with BTW. Oh, wait, Griffis, Daryl, is the chief of the KPD, right? So, are you saying that someone dropped a dime on a possible DUI who might soon be leaving that new sports bar at Exit 3; the KPD responded, found BTW to shit-faced to drive, and drove him home? No, I haven't heard that, but if so, please confirm and get back to us.

I guess the public appearnace at the popular (I give it a year, tops) new sports bar was part of a "Who, me, worried?" diplay of whistling-past-the-graveyard bravado on the part of BTW.
