Two things. First, I got my first speeding ticket in 21 years today. I could not believe it. I was going 41 mph in a 25 mph zone. I honestly thought it was 35 in this area so - yes - I was still speeding. However, I just didn't think I was speeding as fast as I really was. Secondly, I did get a ticket. I could not believe it. I honestly thought I might be able to smile my way out of it. No go. The very young and attractive cop was - for lack of a better description - oblivious to my charms and quite frankly, an ass. So....he did reduce the ticket from 4 points to 2 points and from $180 to $80, but I absolutely WAS getting a ticket. The last thing he said as he walked away was 'Merry Christmas'. And, of course, all I could say in response was 'Boo and Bah Humbug to You'! Oh well....a good friend said if all I got was an $80 ticket in the last 21 years - especially for all the speeding I do - then I should be happy because that nets out at around $3 and some change per year for the last 21 years.....Go figure. Thats actually less than I pay for a PARKING ticket on the USC campus....
