Thank You Officer Kratochwill

This morning was a rough morning. First of all with all of our late nights it has become harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. This week is going to be a rough one. There is a lot to do. So I got up this morning and headed to the shower. I ended up leaving the house about 10 to 15 minutes late. So I figured I could grab our "wedding change" and cash it in. So I stopped at the bank. I was a couple minutes early for the opening so I waited patiently until I saw them unlock the doors. I went in and it took a couple minutes to count seeing as there was $108 worth of change there.

I got in my car and continued on my way to work. Not paying any attention to pretty much anything but where I was going I drove on. Now not paying attention to anything but the road can be a dangerous thing. Because you do not even notice the speed at which you are driving. As I rounded the corner at Wisconsin Heights I noticed a cop sitting there. Looked down and went "Oh SHIT I am going 65!' I thought for a moment that he wasn't going to pull me over but a I passed him and the lights went on. I pulled over. I wasn't as nervous as I had been when I had been pulled over in the past. I knew that I deserved the ticket. I knew that I was speeding. I have a case of what they call lead foot.

The officer came up and asked to see my license. He politely told me that I was speeding and that the radar gun said 65mph. Warned me that I was indeed in a school zone and the speed limit was 45mph there. He continued to tell me that he didn't plan on giving me a ticket just a warning. He also stated that the cost of a ticket going the speed at which I was driving was $156. He then said that he was going to run my license to make sure that it was valid. He officer returned to his car.

Like I said. I wasn't too upset about this. I just hate it when people drive by and stare at you. It is like you are on a hidden camera and everyone is laughing like "Ha Ha Ha you got got speeding..."

The officer returned saying everything checked out and bid me a good day. He told me to keep a better eye on my speed and that I should be careful pulling back out into traffic. Also that he found that I hadn't had a traffic violation since 2001 and that if I kept speeding my record wouldn't be clean for long.....


Wow what luck....

Watching & Waiting

Well hurricane Frances has came and gone. I have been glued to the TV most of the weekend. As you heard Frances ravaged Florida hitting near Ft. Pierce, which is coincidentally the town my grandparents get their mail. I keep seeing pictures of the wrath of Frances in Vero Beach and Ft Pierce. My grandparents live on an Island between those two cities.

I stopped and talked to my uncle on Sunday my grandparents are still in Kissimmee. I think that they were planning on staying until today or tomorrow. I told my uncle to let us know when he hears ANYTHING since he talks to them almost every day. I will let you know when I find out....Hope that there is something there....!

Watch out here comes Ivan!
