CAR-MA
Remember my traffic light philosophy posted 3 days ago?

Well . . .
Guess who got a speeding ticket on her way to work this morning?

Yep. 

Seems I get one every 30 years or so.
This time for going 60 mph in a 40 zone.
My bad for sure.
But the nice officer reduced my speed indicated on the ticket from 60 to 49, so I save $100 - - what a deal!

Hey - as long as we're  talking about coffers, not coffins, I can can handle this easy.

The biggest change in my behavior is that I am now displaying amazing deference to taxicabs, pizza delivery cars, and any vehicle carrying a luggage rack on top.  I even slowed down for an exterminator's VW Beetle sporting a big cockroach on its roof.  Probably never get anywhere on time time ever again.

OH well . . . Next stop - traffic class (or whatever it's called).
Sure don't want any points and higher insurance premiums, so off to class I go.

Dang!

I was mentally focused on the line dance steps to "My Veronica" instead of being focused on the road . . .
and the GREAT BIG COP CAR . . . RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!!  (no exaggeration I'm afraid)

Don't I feel foolish . . .

oh yeah.
