Speeding?? Me?? Never!

Do you know what this is?

A ticket. Know what kind of ticket? A speeding ticket. Nice. The set a speed trap in a residential area close to where I live...and I know they do this often...and I even thought about it today driving down the doomed road. But did it stop me from speeding? No. Truth is, I travel this route probably once a week, IF that.


Little motorcycle cops hiding in the trees (not up in the trees, but behind a cluster of them) ever so nicely walking out into the street with a sign that says "stop" on it. I thought for a second maybe, just maybe, I'd get let off with a warning. Nope. But the nice officer did tell me I could keep it from going on my record by calling "such and such number" and that they would walk me though the process of how to do that.

No thanks.


I don't have time for that. So this ticket will be going on my record. I have been fortunate the last two or three times to have one of my attorney's get it knocked down to a non-moving violation, but I have since decided I don't want to ask him for anymore favors.

I haven't even called to see the loverly fine. Yes, I said loverly. So what.



On the flip side, I saw on my camera today that Jacob practiced his photog skills....you will be impressed...

finger shot..



two finger shot... forehead shot... now we got an eyeball... front door (sorry, a little dirty) nice floor shot...
Call me if you want your family portraits done.


Much love.

cute post! I like the pics Jacob took. Good thing you didn't ask RBK for help. Don't think he would have been very happy about that after last time....

OH NO! That stinks! But I have to say your comment about them not being UP in the trees made me laugh!

And you have quite the future photographer on your hands!

You should have made a run for it!

Jenni said...

Lorie, some people just have vivid imaginations...I have to put disclaimers sometimes!

And trust me Sue, I seriously thought about it! Prob wouldn't have looked to good on my record though!
