OK, here's a Hallow's Eve story for ya:
greenLED, Mrs. Green, and the two greenBOYZ went trick-or-treating tonight. Big family event! So, we're going across a street and I see Mr. Dude Driving a Large SUV coming at us. He was still about 1/3 of a block from was, but it didn't seem to me like they were going to slow down or stop, so I whipped out my GL3R (
Thank You, Jon!!:wave
and I flashed the light in his general direction twice. Mr. Dude immediately stopped!
Talk about compliance. Thank you Mr. Dude for letting us cross the street safely. (and, NO, my intention was not to "blind him" or anything like that, I just flashed twice in his general direction to reinforce our group's presence.)
After that, the spirit of Hallow's Eve must've possessed greenLED 'cuz he couldn't stop himself from shining his light up trees, down alleyways, taking small detours so that greenDUDES and their friends walked on the darker side of the street and, he must admit, making fun of one of his neighbors who was walking around with a miniMag with almost dead batteries. :green: :laughing:
Oh, yeah, Robocop, if you read this: of all the lights my son could've chosen for Halloween, he carried the light you made for me. :twothumbs Thank you, My Friend, for keeping my son safe, even from a distance. I'm afraid I'm not getting my light back, though. 'zat a good thing?:thinking:
