The Era of the Tans
A period of darkness across the rank and file of the Highway Patrol. A period where management cares more about strict policy adherence than quality officers coming out of the Academy, and increased officer safety through better performing equipment and uniforms. A period where “do as I say and not as I do” has become the policy of all managers above the rank of sergeant.
The era of the tans:
Inclement weather will not “excessivley soil” tans. Therefore, the blue utility uniform is not acceptable.
We know your shift ends at 1500, but it’s 1458 and you’re already in civilian attire. We’ll have a talk with your supervisor about leaving early.
“We know you delivered a baby on the side of a freeway and it was filmed by news media. But you were wearing your blue uniform. Therefore, we’re giving you an MOD.”

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
