                                    Speed

I should also mention that this was the day I got a speeding ticket driving
home.

I knew better than to take Sample Road, which is under heavy construction,
but I figured that hey, it's like 1:30 am and there is no traffic what so
ever. That and well … I needed to get home. Nature calling and all that (and
I mean, it was calling).

So I'm speeding home along Sample. “Just a few more miles. Just a few more
miles. Just a few more miles,” was the mantra I kept saying to myself when
WHAM! Off to the right side, on the shoulder, blue lights.

He caught me. Fair and square. I don't put up a fight as it only pisses off
the cop and I've found that generally if you take a positive attitude you get
off with a warning. But going the speed I was in the zone I was in
(construction) meant I probably wasn't going to get a warning.

I didn't.

But it could have been worse. It could have been 1:30 pm (of course, I
wouldn't be able to drive the speed I was if it had been 1:30 pm).

But neither did it take that long, for which I was grateful.
