Films, tech help and law enforcement
Spent the evening at J's...she wanted movies, so I showed her a couple 70s favorites, Hopscotch and Scavenger Hunt.
She's trying to repair hr old computer, and inveigled me into doing some soldering for her. Mind you, I haven't soldered in 25+ years, and her equipement was NOT up to par, but I think I got the job done, go me.
Then, on the way home, I got pulled over---my left brake light is allegedly stuck on. I would not be surprised, since electrical peculiarities have been an issue since day one. The cop just told me to look at it when I get a chance, and that was all.
I think it's absolutely hilarious that I've been driving that thing without a functioning speedometer for, like, three years, have gotten pulled over for no light over my license plate, allegedly failing to come to a complete stop, and this---but none of them has ever mentioned my speed. Proof positive that I really DO drive like an old lady!
The hell of it is, if I'd swung by the library to drop off the books I had with me (blonde moment, I forgot all about them), I probably would've missed the cop. Oh well, it might be that something worse would've happened, YNK.
