Humble Request

Recently, I've been curious about something. I've received a few verbal and written kudos about this little experiment 'o mine. The majority of them have been from folks I never would have suspected would read this thing. Thus, I am led to ask a favor....

If you would be so kind, please leave a comment on this post. You can do so anonymously if you are so inclined. I'm just curious how many people read the blog. It doesn't matter what you say. You can write gibberish for all I care...that isn't to say I wouldn't welcome any comment you choose to write, just don't feel obligated to say anything in particular.

If you aren't particularly interested in leaving a comment, you can also 'follow' the blog (again, you can do so anonymously) by clicking on the 'follow this blog' down the right side of the page.

And, lastly, I recently registered the blog on blogged.com. You can search blogs by topic or keyword. If you search for 'motorcop', mine will be the only one (so far) that pops up. If you have the time and/or the inclination, you can rate the blog, leave a comment, etc.

Thanks for taking the time and thanks for reading.

    I read your blog every day. You are such a good writer and it always puts me in a good mood and cracks me up. Read about your blog on some other blog and have followed it ever since. I also read Happy Medic and Press Hard 3 Copies. I wanted to warn you though it did not take me very long to figure out what Town you worked in, mainly because I live in the adjacent unincorporated town and our entitled juveniles and cell phone totin' SUV drivin' moms are pretty much the same as yours (maybe worse) plus a couple of your friends posted some clues that helped me out. So just be sure they don't do that anymore if you want to stay anonymous. But I am a fan for life!! And I've been driving very carefully in your Town lately.

    I never read your blog. I didn't read your first post on April 4th last year at 7:17 AM and I haven't been reading every one since then. I don't even have you bookmarked, and I don't care whether you go three or four days without updating.

    So don't go getting a swelled head, boy.

    Hi,

    Great information and I really like your "stuff."

    These tired old eyes have a bit of a problem reading white text on a black background. I have to copy your words and then paste them to my Word program.

    Any chance of switching things around a bit? I assure you this will not affect your "mystique."

    Thanks MC

    I read your blog one day on a friends recommendation and was immediately hooked. After reading your latest entry that day about coutesy (or lack thereof) of the common moron who cuts you off I started from the beginning and am convinced that we are the same person in different dimensions or something - AWESOME!

    I just started reading and wasn't going to respond but then I saw someone else did today as well, so I don't feel like a complete moron...

    I was once considered to be on the opposite spectrum of you, I am not in law enforcement. I am a recovering addict (clean and sober 2 years, in college on the Dean's list).

    I almost did classes that would set me up for a career in LE, but was still too bitter about things I guess. Anyways, I'm shutting up. I love it and you have a dedicated reader.
