So my title is two cliches, wanna fight about it?
After spending a night at "the river" and "the mountain", drinking about 2 bottles of vino tinto in public (each) and having our first run in with chilean cops, we headed further south. (Note: cops here aren´t dicks like back home, and being a gringo with a local who can talk to them about how you are just tranquillo and hanging with them so its okay, actually works.)
Our second road trip day went off without a hitch, though we logged many more a mile. We ended up in a gorgeous city called Pucon. This is yet another town flanked with a gorgeous snow peacked mountain and glacial lake that glows that beautifully eire colour of blue. Did some mountain biking, ate some good food, finally, and met a bunch of amazing people and had a few drinks and a most offensive conversation about scientology. I´m pretty sure I´m on their list because there was an american woman giving me the death stare for about 4 hours while we talked and I explained what they actually believe.
We then Left for Argentina, but thats a story deserving its own entry entirely. More later today.

Ah..Cops that aren't dicks. Is this real or am I dreaming?
They give you trouble over the most trivial bullshit it seems... 1 nails you for driving 15-20 KM over the speed limit. Or 1 busts you for smoking a joint or whatever and they are rotten son's of bitches.
On the other hand if 1 finds the prick that stole your car or the guy that broke into the local convenience store or your house and they are a hero.
Or there are the few/many who are corrupt..take bribes or abuse their authority or are racist. Nonetheless they still are capable of good acts…maybe. The movie Crash comes to mind.
Or if a cop gets killed in the line of duty we feel sad and it's a national news story.
We have all had the stupid asshole cop in our face at some point. Yet most have the good cop experience to.
I guess there are human like the rest of us with friends, family and a job. Some do their job better then others like every other profession. Some are dicks like part of the population.
It’s a roll of dice.. AJ vs KQ it’s about 50-50. That’s the bottom line because Geoff Smith said so. Also because I’m rather high off pain meds for my back and feeling philosophical. Peace, love and Pink Floyd
That was fucking classic Smitty. Nothing short of fucking classic. Hahahahahahaha.hahahahahaha.hahahaha.
However, I wish to offer a quiet rebuttal....
In the immortal words of N.W.A. - "Fuck the Police"
Good stories from Chile boys, keep 'em coming.
