Happy Valentine's day!

A speeding ticket from the district of columbia...where I was LOST and just going with the flow of traffic...whoopie. *headdesk* Cause I have $100 to burn.

Yes---usually careful when driving through there, because of the bored cops, but it was such a nice day and I wasn't paying attention.

I went to college in Ithaca :-) although I can't say I ever got a speeding ticket, but I only had a car for one of 4 years.

Really? NEAT! IC or Cornell? I bet it's IC---you seem like a normal person! I'm only here because Jim's working on his PhD at Cornell.

This is my second! I got one 3 days after moving here (still had NJ tags, didn't know the usual speed limit is 30, even though NJ rural roads it's 50).

I was doing 35 in the school zone this time (because the brats in CH are made of sugar, apparently). The officer was really nice and changed the ticket for something else, but still gotta cough up money.

I have never lived in a place that was so obsessed with traffic issues.

yes IC. I have a B.A. in drama graduated in 2005. It certainly was a beautiful place to be a student. well, Ithaca, not IC's campus that was built in the 70s and is all concrete.
