Cowboy Up

The BOA meetings almost always have light moments, last meeting was no exception (sorry, this light moment got pushed to the back of the stack because of all the "heavy" stuff. MARCIT is the company that provides insurance for the City. Two of their representatives gave an overview of their company and their coverage. I found the presentation to be thorough. They asked for questions after their presentation. From the audience George Regan asked if they would cover a hybrid police vehicle (stemming from a previous suggestion from Mr Regan). Without skipping a beat the MARCIT rep replied, yes and if we had a horse they would cover that as well! Lots of chuckles from the "peanut gallery". Mastercard "priceless" moment of Chief McMullin. Hmmm, mounted patrol. Nah. But what about something in between? Harley, baby. Our own version of CHIPS. Now that's the ticket.

Can you even get a hybrid police car? I have never seen one.
I could out-run the police in my Mustang!

I'm all for the notion of cops on two wheels. But, the traditional CHIPS Harley's cost as much as four wheels! How 'bout a Segway Police Model!!!! Freedom and enforcement all for the bargain price of $5K AND stays well within WL speed limits!

Where did the Cowboy Up come from?

Probably to the reference "and if we had a horse they would cover that as well!" Yee Haw!

Possibly came from the little red car around the lake lately with Kansas tags with a back window that says "Cowboy Up?"
