Grouchy

I'm feeling grouchy tonight. Not sure why, but I have a few reasons. Work is getting a little aggravating (piddly crap that really shouldn't bother me, but does), my shoulders are sore for no adequately explained reason, I haven't gotten enough sleep this week, stuff like that.

Perhaps some vodka, hot-tub, and Holmes will help me feel better.

How Fast is Too Fast

I routinely drive faster than the speed limit. Not unsafely so, but usually about 10 mph faster than posted. And yet I have not gotten a speeding ticket in about 20 years. I did get pulled over about a decade ago, but the cop let me go when he found out I was with EMS.

Maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe I just manage to avoid speed traps. But I've seen cops on the side of the road that just let me go.

Today I passed a state trooper doing about 75 in a 60. I thought I was busted, but nothing...until I got about half a mile further down the road. Blue lights, moving cop car.

Whoops, right?

Not exactly. He pulled over the guy behind me. Who I'm pretty sure I was driving faster than.

Now, I drive a nondescript car, and this dude was in a late-model Charger with illegal window tint.

Interesting, huh?
