    Well All Right

    Sometimes shit works out when you don’t even deserve it. The toast lands jelly side up.

    Today I got pulled over by a State Trooper. [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]] in a [emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] zone, which honestly is a few mph less than I was going a few seconds before, when I saw him. But still [emoji638][emoji639] over is reckless driving here, which is an expensive pain in the ass.

    He gave me a warning and sent me on my way.

    Anything work out surprisingly well for you lately?

    Today I got pulled over by a State Trooper. 88 in a 65 zone, which honestly is a few mph less than I was going a few seconds before, when I saw him. But still over is reckless driving here, which is an expensive pain in the ass.

    He gave me a warning and sent me on my way.

    Old Jewish joke about the semi-mythical Eastern European town of Chelm, a village inhabited by idiots who think they are sages.
    A man is eating breakfast and drops his toast. It lands butter side up. Astounded, he runs off to the village rabbis, who are equally astounded that the toast didn't land butter side town as the Talmud says it must.
    Perplexed, they ponder the mystery for a week. Finally, they announce that they have solved the mystery--the toast was buttered on the wrong side.

    He probably smelled your old man body aroma and decided to exit

    I mean, I played the game right - put the turn signal on, stopped quickly but safely, turned the engine off and the hazards on, put the windows down, kept my hands on wheel and didn't move as he approached. And was white and old in a nice car. But just getting a warning surprised the shit out of me, I was just hoping he'd knock it down to 19 over so it wouldn't be reckless driving. I'm still calling it a surprise win.

    Small victory: the quote button seems to work.

    Small loss: when I click on a post to quote, the website quotes a different post. Every time.

    Sigh.
    I still call it The Jake.

    Any chance you were in VA? I got a reckless driving on the interstate in VA for doing 82 in a 75. Found out the hard way anything over 80 is reckless driving.

    Slow down, almost twice as many people die every day in the US in car crashes, as died in the DC plane crash.

    Had a buddy in our small town for a hockey tourney. Big speed trap between us and the interstate back to missoula. Gets clocked 63 in a 30. Reckless for sure. He calls the judge and apologized (judge lives where he was speeding). Somehow he gets off with a 15 dollar ticket. I love Montana.

    I got up really early and drove a friend to work after driving his truck into the shop yesterday. That was miraculous me pulling some strings getting an appointment, after 2 days of working on it, and me getting up that early. Slept for 7 hours, picked him up, drove him to the shop, G2G. Old man satisfied. That turned out pretty well. Going to make some sunny turns tomorrow to celebrate. And I caught a 21:00 piper to save a shitty show. Good times.

    Jackbooted thugs

    I dislike staties everywhere. But mass puts the ass on masshole. Shiny jackboots. Jodpurs with a fascist stripe down the side. Shaved head. Military cap over the eyes. Stiff and angry at the world. Ex military.

    Out west you find pork pie hats and sometimes a smile. And normal pants. Like Smokey the Bear. But with a gun.

    PS. I hope you were driving past the stop and shop when you were going faster miles an hour
