I was sooo sure I was going out last night that I left my van on the street in front of my building. For some unexplainable reason there is no parking after 2am in front of my building. I get the no parking during he morning rush hour. It is University Ave. after all. But I didn't get a ticket for that. I got a ticket for parking on my street at 3: ( Read more... )

I think I picked a pretty good time to stop getting drunk. There were so many cops on the road on the way home and even more with people pulled over.

Brent was able to drop ( Read more... )

So I went to see the hearing officer in Brooklyn Center about my speeding ticket today. They gave me the option of suspending prosecution for a year. If I'm not convicted of a moving violation in the next year the charge will never appear on my record. I figure that this is a pretty safe bet. The only thing on my record happened back in 1993.
