Ahmnodt the Speed Demon
I now have a blemish to my record. I was given a speeding ticket today. I was driving 27 miles per hour in a 15 mile-per-hour zone. There goes my lifelong dream of becoming a school bus driver.
I also received a ticket for running a stop sign. That ticket should be easy to beat since there was no stop sign at the place I allegedly didn’t stop. (Thanks to Howie for removing that sign for me.)
It’s a warm day here and will continue to be seasonably warm for quite some time with copious amounts of rain tomorrow and Sunday. I am suspending the encouragement of global warming now that I can feel my hands again.
Should I have told the police officer that I wasn’t speeding, but “qualifying”? I figured since there are bumping stickers that say, “I’m not tailgating, I’m drafting”, then I could have my own NASCAR reference to a driving infraction.
With three or four inches of rain expected this weekend, I doubt the town will be sending out the drought notices until at least Wednesday. At least it isn’t snow. My shoulder still hurts from the inch I had to shovel on Tuesday.
If You Are Going to the Daytona 500
If you’re going to the Daytona 500 this weekend, pleas carry an “Ahmnodt Heare for President” sign and show it in front of a TV camera. The campaign can use the exposure. In exchange, I will give kudos to you and your favorite driver in Monday’s blog entry. If you want to help the campaign in other ways, please stop by the table that will be set up outside the track by the North Entrance.
Al always, I thank you for your continued support.
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Today (2/17/2008): I’ll be holding a campaign rally today at the Hooter’s Restaurant in , VA. Today is the running of the Daytona 500. I will mark this occasion while at Hooter’s and give a speech comparing my campaign to former NASCAR driver Dick Trickle’s career. The speech will be a half-hour before the start of the race. It will be a short speech because I want to watch the speech. I have $20 on Matt Kenseth.
Tomorrow (2/18/2008): I will not be blogging tomorrow so that may spend my undivided attention observing Vanna White’s birthday. I will resume blogging on Tuesday. The picture below shows why I wm a Vanna White Supremacist.
