I got a speeding ticket maybe 10 miles outside of Sweetwater. I was doing some serious woolgathering and didn't even notice the cop until he was right on my ass. And I was speeding like crazy, so I can't really bitch all that much. I wanted to get home.
It was 86 in a 70, so I'm out about $160 for the fine, or (if the paper I got includes everything) $97 for 'administrative fees' plus the cost of the defensive driving course if I decide to go that route (very likely, for insurance reasons). I understand there is a way you can do it on the web these days. My, my, the wonders of technology and stuff.
Kit and his burner pal came over last night for hub's tasty veggie chili, hot tubbing, and Adult Swim. It was nice to hang out with him. There was a bump during Adult Swim where they had synced Sealab 2021's Debbie and Marco to some Spanish song that really grabbed my attention. Sure enough, the AS message boards yielded the name- it's 'Aguas de Marco (Waters of March)' sung by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina. Catchy.
My first call of the day is a woman who is very obviously crazy, accusing just about everyone of having sex with her kids, and whoever didn't is 'in cahoots' with them, including everyone at the sheriff's office. Oh, and they're trying to silence her by having her committed. Imagine that. What am I, a crazy magnet or something?

They had several pricing options (they had one for people who needed to get it done by the next day! of course, that was the most expensive option-- eep!). And it was nice for mom, because that meant she could do it from home rather then having to sit in a Marriot and listen to someone drone on and on about traffic laws.
hit send too soon, drat!
