What about pakalolo?
When I used to drive to town every day, I would smell weed on the freeway. Now I smell weed in my neighborhood,  by the elementary school, etc.
Not to mention the nickel bags at the park.
There are many options for impaired driving, none of them alcohol-related.

Got more info on it.  Range is not open on weekdays.  They still need to do more cleaning and refurbishment.  They're getting closer to weekday hours.

I'm wondering if that's the hours for the park, grassy area, or for the range.  Since I don't see a public announcement or reservations.

HPD's SOP is if you refuse a field sobriety test, then you get taken (arrested) to the station at which one can be done or a blood test.  The error is on the cop who suspected the kid was "drunk".  We put trust in the cops that they will do the right thing, but often ego gets in the way.

My elementry school DARE officer stated "if you ever think you're over the limit, request a blood test.  The hope is you're sober enough by then because it takes time to go to the station, do the paperwork and draw the blood". 

There's audit vids of someone blowing 0 and was still arrested for DUI.  Only for the charges to be dropped.  He also had 0 on his blood work at the station.  Because of this arrest, he lost his football scholarship.  I think he ended up suing. IDK how much he got or if he got his scholarship back.  The bodycam shows everything as well.

Just a retired merchant seaman here and just paid my taxes. How many of the protesting "students" have had their student loans paid for by our taxes????

Quote
With the latest batch of loan cancellations, the White House said it has forgiven
about $153 billion in debt for 4.3 million student borrowers.

Biden, who had made student loan relief a major campaign pledge, is tackling an
issue that affects about 43 million Americans with a combined  $1.7 trillion in student
debt.

Since getting attacked by a dog is a possible thing, I;ve always thought what I would do. IDK if I"d be able to draw and open my knife in time (assuming no CCW).  But even with CCW, and it takes on a slow day 1.2 seconds to draw and fire 1 shot, what it that's not enough time.  I wonder if rushing the dog to close the distance and doing a foodball style spin move would work against the dogs initial leap to bite.  I mean, human nature would have one stick out your arm or hand, but the dog will bite that.  So, remove that from the equation and there's less surface area for the dog to bite. Just gotta watch out for your neck, bit it's a much smaller target, so see spin move.

Then vid's of people I've seen attacked by dogs, after the initial leap/bite, they give up.  So is going ape shit from the get go the way? LET"S GET IT ON (In Joe's voice from Family Guy).

I used to ride my bicycle everywhere growing up, and dogs chasing me and being aggressive was very common. 

Usually they chase you if you run or try to ride off, so the first thing is stop and stand your ground.  They usually pause since they weren't expecting that.  their intent usually is to chase you away, not get into a fight.

These few who do want to continue usually get scared away if you throw a couple of rocks in their direction.  Commanding them with words they might know like "No!" and "Heel!" can work, because they are thinking you might be someone they need to obey.  Your words are familiar, which makes you less of a stranger.

The only dogs i'd be instantly in self-defense mode against would be a pit bull, especially if more than one.  They aren't like most breeds.  Once they decide to attack, they go all out to get you, and once latched on will refuse to let go. 

If you're on a bike, get off and keep it between you and the dog/s.  If you have anything you can use as cover, use it.  Don't show fear no matter how nervous you are.  I've had dogs run at me, and by standing still and talking to them calmly, they actually came up to me to be petted.  A calming voice can set them at ease and stop the aggression.

You are envisioning the worst case scenario where you need to stop a charging man eater.  In my experience, that's a rare case.  A little understanding of animal behavior and how to communicate to them to show you are not afraid while also not a threat works most times.

If you stand still, don't act afraid, and then slowly walk away, that'll break their focus on you more often than not.
