Ever notice that us guys treat women's posts totally differently than another guy's posts? Even if the two posts said basically the same thing. lol

I appreciate that, and yes, I do believe I have noticed. There was one knucklehead commenter in my original post, and I'm certainly glad I didn't listen to stay home in the kitchen! LOL

No worries on the overconfidence issue...that's not my personality anyway.
We did see two state troopers with lights on, and a swat vehicle pass us, that got our curiosity up. Don't know where they were headed though.
