It was bound to happen, driving back and forth so much. Last night I got a ticket, a few miles south of Corsicana, TX. The state trooper was tag-teaming with another officer, so I had slowed down when I saw the lights from the other officer, but I had already been tagged by his friend. So, I got a ticket for 80 in a 65 there.

I didn't really fight it. He caught me fair and square. I tend to go 80 on the interstate where there's no one really out there, especially when I'm doing the late night drive back home. I was caught around 11 p.m. I noticed the trooper (who wasn't cute) had a Texas Rangers baseball watch, and I thought about asking him about baseball, but he had already written out the ticket, and it was already late, so I thought, why make it even later?

I'll have to look into taking defensive driving. It's been a while, but I've gone to the comedy defensive driving and enjoyed it...maybe I'll do it again. Better than paying the whole thing. So much for going through 2003 unscathed.

Hey, one more chance to do my friends test. I'll reveal the answers on New Years day. http://eggwards.friendtest.com
