Friday the 13th

I don't post much, but I had an awesome friday. It was my first time flying at night and landed by myself. At the time I was taking off, the moon was framed by the san gabriel mountains. It was a beautiful night.

I got my first ever speeding ticket yesterday on my way to work (50 in a 35). The smartass cop said, "I ran your info and saw you had a perfect driving record, so I just had to ruin it for you. Have a nice day, ma'am." I was PISSED!!!

And I actually got an upgrade for my flight tonight. I never seem to have much luck getting them. Who says you can't get lucky on Friday the 13th?

Well, Friday the 13th struck me... of course, my flight was over two hours late. At least that first class upgrade came in handy ... they kept feeding me free Alaskan Amber to keep me happy.

Because you were going 50 in a 35, or because you got a ticket? I know, I know... I would be pissed at the cop's smart-ass comment too.

You should have told him that cops like him are the reason no one has respect for the law anymore and thinks they're all assholes, and that he should try to be a better representative for his "kind."

What an asshole. That must have been really disturbing/distressing.

But on the plus side, you can go into court, mention that to the judge (but do not admit guilt) and ask that he either dismiss the charge on account of you were psychologically abused by the cop whether he had reason to stop you or not, or at least withhold adjudication so that you can pay the fine but not get points on your license.

I would make sure to testify to the judge exactly what the cop said, and mention that your reaction to it is an overall diminishing of your view of cops and their treatment of civilians.

I doubt that the judge would be pleased to hear the cop made a smartass comment like that, and he probably wouldn't like some no-college-education cop to be fucking up the public's view of the justice system further.

Mine was wierd.

Nice to hear my daughters sleeping.

The number 13 is a strange and recurring one in my life.

Or you could make sure you don't speed in a built-up area.

It was a Ford F150.

Hey wait - I have a 99 F-150. Should I be worried?

So far it sounds like this has been a bad Friday 13th for cars and computers.

But in the words of Morpheus, how would that be different than any other day?

I crashed my car on friday. I dont have full coverage either, so now I gotta fix the damned thing. First time I've been in an accident that was my fault (and I've had more than my share of rear-endings and Tboning's). The guy I hit didnt signal and cut the corner but because I had the stop sign, I'm taking the blame. Had he signaled I'd feel alot better about the situation knowing that I fucked up. bummer for sure
