County Clerk Comes Clean

re: "Gotcha" item and speeding ticket this A.M.

Wow, can't get away with anything with all those berry pickers around! First one in about 15 years. Yes unfortunately that was me ("but officer, I was just trying to get my wife to work a little early for a meeting"). And of course when he pointed out the part on the ticket where I need to go pay the Clerk of the District Court..."ah, yea, ahh... actually that's me, so yes I do know where to go to pay it". I suppose I should be glad I instituted a program a few years back so people (me) can pay the ticket via credit card! You know, so I can get those infrequent flyer miles.

DFO: I've received only one speeding ticket in my life, at age 18 on the night I drove my convertible Camero home from the dealer. I didn't want anyone to pass me that night, including the cop I didn't know was behind me. When was the last time you received a speeding ticket?
