Kickoff is just over three hours away, and we're on our way to do
some serious tailgating. I'm a beer and a half past breakfast,
and I won't be back to add (or retract) more words of wisdom until
tomorrow, or maybe even Monday (hic), so this is my last post for
a while:
Let's not confuse "private property" and "public place." They
very often are the same. A public place is any place where the
public is invited, no matter who owns the property. For instance,
your front yard becomes a public place if you have a yard sale
because you have invited the public to come there. The same
applies to malls, ball parks, parking lots, even the lobbies of
hotels, where people are free to come and go. But not the hotel
rooms, of course, where people are entitled to an "expectation of
privacy." Those are the key words. If you are where you have a
right to expect not to be seen or bothered by others, you are not
in public. Otherwise, smile! You may be on somebody's candid
camera.
I gotta go now -- food, beer, old friends, some even Ala-damn-bama
grads, and we've got to get started making fools of ourselves.
It's the 3rd Saturday in October, and this is SERIOUS football.
Go Vols!
