Monticello Blue, Dodging the Cop and Priorities This week I was in West Virginia to help my youngest get his Driver's License. The does tend to procrasinate. He drove Monticello Blue at the Fairgrounds and Camping Areas. I am anticipating that all will go well and he'll be able to test for his license in a few weeks.  I have a Taillight that is out and it's not the bulbs because I already changed them so driving through "Ticket Trap" West Virginia can be quite the challenge. This is a small town that is not prospering thus the cops are the armed revenue collectors. Also there is not much for them to do thus a non-working taillight is major work for them.  Luckily I know most of the backroads which have no donut shops. However Friday Night, I got a call from my . His usual ride home wanted to go bar hopping and my didn't want to go bar hopping with him. Yeah! I love it when my makes the right choice. On the way back, I was joking with my about the tail light and the local cops. "It's so late the cops are busy sleeping right now, we laughted." Opps! We drove right by the night cop who was eating a donut in the Church Parking Lot. "Good thing he's busy," my remarks. "Yeah Right!" Monticello Blue dashed around the corner, hoping to get home before the cop went after us. We drove on to lawn and I noticed "Flashing Blue Lights" behind me. I stepped out of the car, "Officer, I know that the tail light is not working, we changed the bulbs and it's still not working. My boyfriend will be fixing it next week when I get back to Virginia. I handed him my Virginia Driver's License and Monticello Blue's Virginia Car Registration and Proof of Insurance. "Didn't I talk to you before he asked." You called me and had me break down the door to check on Mr. G" he asked me. "No, that was that idiot ex-girlfriend of his." Next, Grumpy - my ex-hubby came walking out pointing at the cop. "THAT is the cop who broke down my door! If that Piece of Work named Tessa calls again, tell her to............." The cop explained to Grumpy - If someone calls to check on a Senior - we have to check on them even if it means breaking down the door. My and I were laughing. "Well Officer, my called me to pick him up from work because he didn't want to be in the same car with someone who was drinking and driving and THAT is more important than getting a ticket for a nonworking taillight. "I don't disagree with you Ma'am. I'm not giving you a ticket just a warning. Just get the thing fixed"   Abracadabra  |
