Sad to say it’s so uneventful here today that I am the biggest news in town. Well, the biggest news where I work anyway. Why? What did I do that has everyone in such a tizzy? Hang on and I’ll tell you.
I got a speeding ticket. And someone I work with just happened to be driving by and saw me. Sitting there beside the road where I pulled over and stopped immediately after I saw the state police car pull out behind me. So quickly I was stopped and getting out my information before he even had a chance to flip on the lights. There was no high-speed chase. No sirens blaring. No Barb facedown on the ground in handcuffs. Just me sitting patiently in my car while the nice sergeant wrote up my citation. Yes, he was a very nice officer because he gave me the inexpensive ticket where I did not get any points assigned to my license so my insurance is not going up and I do not have to attend traffic school.
I was simply going a little too fast on a wide-open road with no traffic in my zippy little car on a holiday weekend. Gee, aren’t I just such a hardened criminal? Get over it already! Now, if anyone is looking for me, I’ll be out in the yard, picking strawberries.
