Happy Thanksgiving to you too John. A nice police officer just stopped me a few minutes ago to say the same thing. He even gave me a "Happy Thanksgiving Day Card" but he said I have to mail or bring it back to the courthouse soon.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Nov-02 AT 11:11 PM (EST)]No, I thanked him for only writing it for 10 mph over. (Not a moving violation in Iowa) I was snoozing. He had to slow down so I could pass him, making it easier to pull me over. Oh well, first one in 13 years.

I sure wish you had been riding with me Rebel, so you could have said that to him and made things better for me.

i got a ticket for 67 in a 35 and i had to go to court.
blamed it on my throttle cable.
had to pay 100 dollars including court cost.
no points.
i think i made off pretty well.
got pulled over by a ***** though.
so he wouldnt let me off anyways.
and i was passing a school bus.
big no no.
hehe
o well.
i know some people around here and i can get off now.
have some favors i can pull by cops.
if it was a holiday and a cool cop i would of had fun but this guy was strickly by the book and no loose ends at all.
maybe its cause of how fast i got my 89 in a short distance.
he got jealous.

It isn't a good Thanksgiving without Officer Obie and his 27 8x10 color glossy photos with a circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.

Just got back from the store today where I wrote a check and learned my drivers license expired last month. I learned when I got home from my ticket that my new insurance card was by the toaster and I had handed the officer an expired one. (No insurance and card in the car is a big NO GO in IA.) Officer mentioned none of these issues in the citation. I got busted 2 miles from my house on the main drag in my home town so you would think I might be aware of the speed limit. Plus he trimmed enough MPH off the citation for the minimum fine. I do believe I received a military discount. You guys think I ought to fight the ticket



George

Aren't holidays great? Really makes a guy feel normal after a day of wondering how Cousin Disfunctional gets through life. But it's always nice to see him.

... poor me. We don't even have ThanxGiving over here. ... and we also don't have Turkeys.

However, when time allows I will tell you about the 30 days of paid vacation we have over here (I mean everyone, no matter for how long he's been in his job).

... but back to the Turkey. Poor me. No Turkey.

ok, I see. Had me worried there for a second. All apologies; just gets me nervous when people do that in a school zone. But since you weren't, I apologize. Sorry you got caught... and hope your Turkey Day was good nonetheless.

Regards,
Daryl
