Birthday Schmirthday..

So this after noon I was heading south, towards home, on 600 West.

I decided that instead of continuing down 6th west,
I was going to turn and head towards 10th West and on home.

Bad idea.

Rear view mirror,
clear.
Side view mirror,
clear.

So I proceed into the turning lane
and

BAM.

Some one was in my blind spot.

We get out and I look at the damage on their car.

(i don't really care what happened to mine, it's already got to many scraps to count)

There was pretty much nothing but rubber that had scrapped off onto their car from the side of my bumper.
But the 'idiot husband' had to call the Po Po.

And after all insurance and stuff like that is exchanged he says to me.

'Unfortunately,
I have to issue a citation,
and I have to give it to you because you were at fault.
Because you were wearing your seat belt,
I'm going to check this little box right here,
and they should give you $10 dollars off your fee for complying to safety regulations.'

Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Really?
On a $100 dollar fine,
does $10 dollars really make a difference?

So, instead of using the $60, I'd been saving,
on going to dinner and New Moon for my birthday,
I get to put it towards my ticket.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy To Me!
