so close to a hardened criminal
I got pulled over today by the Missouri Highway Patrol. They seem to love me a lot, or at least love pulling me over. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I just enjoy blazing through the nothern part of the state like it’s the Daytona 500.
Today, I got clocked doing 60 in a 45. Sorrrree! The cop says to me, “You just passing through?”
I look at him, as my dog begins to growl, and say, “Well, kinda. My grandpa’s funeral was on Thursday and I’m just on my way back home.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he says and then takes my license and insurance back to his UNMARKED car.
I wait a while, a very short while, and he comes back without anything in addition to the things I gave him. “Drive safe,” he says, “and try not to speed.”
I look at him, he looks at me and then hands me my driver’s license back, and makes it a point to have his thumb underneath my birthday.
So, thank you, Missouri Highway Patrolman, for the lovely birthday present. It was honestly the highlight of the past week for me.
hello, dear internet
I kind of lied. I suggested two dolla may move, but who are we kidding? two dolla is like an internet icon, only without the icon status.
So, we’re still here, and still around. We’re just going through some major renovations and setting up some protection issues. You know, for safety. Expect some password protected awesomeness and all that good stuff that prevents those extra nosy folks from stumbling onto my site via Google. As well as some top-notch security measures to help me… oh, who am I kidding? There might be some passworded posts here and there, but I’m assuming I’ll be pretty free with the handing out of the password.
For now, excuse the mess, and Happy Birthday to ME. It’s good to be back.
