Blog-Rolling as the Mood Strikes |
Remember my traffic light philosophy posted 3 days ago? Well . . . Guess who got a speeding ticket on her way to work this morning? Yep. Seems I get one every 30 years or so. This time for going 60 mph in a 40 zone. My bad for sure. But the nice officer reduced my speed indicated on the ticket from 60 to 49, so I save $100 - - what a deal! Hey - as long as we're talking about coffers, not coffins, I can can handle this easy. The biggest change in my behavior is that I am now displaying amazing deference to taxicabs, pizza delivery cars, and any vehicle carrying a luggage rack on top. I even slowed down for an exterminator's VW Beetle sporting a big cockroach on its roof. Probably never get anywhere on time time ever again. OH well . . . Next stop - traffic class (or whatever it's called). Sure don't want any points and higher insurance premiums, so off to class I go. Dang! I was mentally focused on the line dance steps to "My Veronica" instead of being focused on the road . . . and the GREAT BIG COP CAR . . . RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!! (no exaggeration I'm afraid) Don't I feel foolish . . . oh yeah. |
