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.
