A going away present...

Well yesterday was interesting. I got off work and picked up my last pay check and then went shopping for about two hours for shoes and clothes. Well that would normally be fun but it was just plain exhausting and by the end of it I had a splitting headache. So I was ready to get home! I am moving right along in my car on the 250 bypass to get on I-64 here in Charlottesville and I wasn't real concerned with how fast I am going cause I am not a big speeder. Well I see this cop and look down to see that I am going 70 in a 55 zone! I lay on the brakes and pass the cop. Immediately he pulls out and pulls me over. Right away I start explaining myself and how horrible I feel to the officer and that I really didn't know how fast I was going. Then I ask for a warning. Well I guess he had just about enough of my rammbling cause he gave me this mean look and demanded my drivers license! I guess they don't do warnings anymore. So he writes me this big fat ticket that I must now pay before I leave this blessed country where the cops work so tirelessly to protect us from ourselves on the road.

Interestingly enough I had to call the cops about two months ago because of the small riot in front of my apt. building and it took them 25 minutes to get there when the station if 5 min. away. The guys were talking about shooting each other and they were all beating each other up. So the cops show up and put 3 car loads of drunk thugs in their cars and send them on their way. Now somebody please tell me what is wrong with this whole picture! I get a big fat ticket and the drunks run free! I will sleep soundly tonight knowing that Virginia's finest are there to protect us!
