Thanks to those passengers on PHI-DFW today who stayed seated while the honor guard exited the plane for the deceased serviceman being transported.

For those few who can’t follow directions, decorum or didn’t hear the flight crew ask everyone to wait and instead stood up to get their gear requiring a second request to stay seated, do better.

More and more door-to-door

I’ve lived in McKinney near Glen Oaks since early 2000. I have never seen and had so many door-to-door sales-dolts as have visited in the past year. They all come from the same crappy “never take the first no as no” school of selling.

I’ve had to put up a sign I made on my door. If you need a sign to deter them, DM me. I’m happy to help make a neighborhood less of a sales target and more of a community.

If you’re interested, the GTP summary of McKinney requirements (which no one follows) are:

Key requirements for permitted selling:

Apply through McKinney Police; the permit is individual and must be visibly carried/displayed.

Submit a notarized application, ID/driver-license information, company/employment verification, five references, photos, and background-check information.

The currently posted City packet lists a $35 background fee plus $15 ID-card fee per applicant, and asks for a $5,000 cash/surety bond or qualifying liability insurance. The packet is dated 2017, so confirm fees and bond requirements with McKinney Police before applying. McKinney solicitor permit packet⁠

A permit may be issued for up to six months. Solicitors must identify themselves and their purpose and show the permit upon request.
No door-to-door solicitation before 9:00 a.m. or after sunset, Monday–Saturday; none on Sunday, New Year’s Day, July 4, observed Memorial Day/Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas—unless the resident specifically requested the visit.

They must immediately stop if told no, cannot solicit a posted property, and cannot solicit a home with a compliant “NO SOLICITORS” sign. The ordinance specifies lettering at least ⅔-inch high on a weatherproof card at least 3×4 inches, conspicuously placed near the main entrance.
