...always buckle up!!!!! And going 37 in a 25 is not necessarily a smart thing to do, especially in a dinky old fart town like Edmonds!

OK, who got busted? I would like to know who is contributing to our city budget.

Okay, first off I want to state that what is contained in this post came from my need to give myself a break from my homework for the moment and it is NOT because my life is so pathetic that I must come up with this stuff for entertainment.

Okey dokey...

The answer to the problem will be the Angler Number of the guilty party.

f(x)=x^3-x^2-100x+3456879546

Evaluate f '(6.2023), round to the nearest whole number and that will give you the guilty party.

High school calculus was good for something.

I'm probably wrong, but I don't think 6.2023 works. The ^ are for exponents, right? Are there sposed to be some parathesis in there someplace? Hey, I'm obviously not as smart as you.

Sorry, I was bored and sometimes I just gotta be a smart ass.

Okey dokey, here is what you do:

Evaluate the derivative of f(x) at x=6.2023. Hope that helps some and yes, the ^ is for exponents.

Bob...............you shouldn't have. Your the reason our roads are so unsafe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you actually worked the problem out and werent just guessing!!

Sorry Bob, I had to. Corey told me to give you some crap about it and what better way to then in front of thousands of people. So get mad at her...not me.

No.......I actually worked it out. Took maybe 30 seconds. What you been upto to Ryan? Haven't seen ya since I was in and bought that berkley IM700 rod from you guys this summer. In case you don't remember I was the one that was talking to you about your secret admirer *****. We were going to get a pic of us with a fish and send it to her. Well........gotta go finish my homework.

Tim

But according to her you catch fish and I dont so it'll be up to you to catch the fish.

I wonder who else she is in love with that feels the same way about her as you do???

Thats because you can do 15 over in forks right infront of a state patrol and he doesn't even think about pulling you over. They wait till your doin' 90+ on 101 before the lights go blazen. My favorite line ever out of a cops mouth was on la push rd 2 years ago. He said, Do ya know why I pulled ya over Mr. A#$@!*4*&? I said no. He says, "well it wasn't that you were donig 15 over with a boat, it was the fact you couldn't stay between the yellow lines, what is the problem?" I told him we we're soaked to the bone and trying to get warm plus the window kept fogging from all the wet raingear and waders. He asked if we had fish we told him ya, we then showed him a few big kings. He handed me DL and sent me on my way, obviously with fish on his mind. Pretty cool cop, huh RichG.

f'(x)= 3x^2-2x-100

f'(6.2023)= 3, the number of the guilty angler.

PA is one big speedtrap. A lot of old farts too.

Yep, guilty as charged. Never looked at a speed limit sign, but being on an arterial, heck I figured 30 or 35 and certainly didn't even think I was speeding until I saw the cop in the MIDDLE of the road - on foot - with a radar gun. Should just hit the gas instead of the brake BUT Ididn't get a ticket for the speeding and that's why Corey wanted you to harass me so bad ... she said she'd have gotten one for sure. Thanks Officer for passing out a break my way!

I can't believe the governor of Forks was speeding. What kind of example are you setting for the cracker community?

Put the radar detector on top of your Christmas list. By the way, radar detector is not for speeding. It is for hobby only. It allows you to detect transmissions in X, K, KA and laser bands. That was the argument in court.

Just came back from E. WA duck hunting trip. My radar detector was sound asleep going 40-45 mph. What a long day!

Also, kids, don't race down I-5!

Wish I was so lucky, I got pinched Saturday in Grays Harbor County on 101 doing 77 in a 60....guess who has an appointment upcoming in lovely Montesano soon.

Hey Randy,

I saw a guy on a O.P. river last weekend with a Miami hat on, was that you?
