Phooey.

Well, I got myself a ticket tonight on the way to rehearsal.

Yeah, it was dumb. It was dumber than dumb. I went through a yellow light...not realizing that I passed a cop to do it. Hey, it was dark. And I thought he was far enough ahead to have already gone through the same intersection. Whoops.

How much? $100. Shit.

Well, I'm going to send in the request for a court date, if nothing else to see if I can get them to reduce the fine.

But it's nice to know that the car gods still know I exist. Dammit.

Okay. Shower, finish packing. Take out the trash. Hm. Maybe that before shower.

It's amazing how much an unlit flashbar on a police car looks like a ski rack in the dark, isn't it :-/

What KILLS me is that I knew he was up ahead. I just hadn't realized he had STOPPED for the same light (in the other lane).

Usually I'm cautious the other way 'round - I see ski racks and take them for cherries. But no, this one time? Totally didn't see him.

They say that we make errors when we *think* we know what we're doing. It's so true.
