    I can see it now...

    Bart sees that the trail is booby trapped, gets out of his truck & says...

    "Caltrops...COOL" & picks them all up & keeps them for future reference...

    The real question, is what would I do if I came upon some eco terrorists in the act of setting booby traps...a lot can happen in the middle of the desert.

    Yep.... One of my favorite quotes form goodfellas (I think)...

    There's a lotta holes in the desert...
    And in those holes, a lot of problems.

    Not sure how close I remembered that...

    We experienced that in Shenandoah. Someone put a tadpole pond right in front of Eric.

    Almost, its Casino (pretty much the same thing though, right) and its "A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes."

    Casino is a cold-blooded, BRUTAL film. Good stuff.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    just read an article in a local paper about this.. 15 year old riding his dirtbike on a trail took a steel cable to the throat, as you would expect, he didnt make it. the people who put the cable up claimed they did it to keep people in pickups from driving down the trail to dump trash.. they had been ordered to take it down before when another kid hit it last summer, hit him in the upper chest so he made it

    family of the deceased sued and won a settlement for 750k.. no criminal charges at all
