Default last day of the year

Boy the 31st did not start out great. I spent most of the day sick. Got up to go to work. Got less than 1 mile from my house and saw a police officer pulled over with another car inside a blind curve. Warned the car comming towards us to slow down so they would not hit them by flashing my lights and darned if there was not another police officer right behind me. He immediately pulled me over and stated that my liscense plate light was out. I got a warning. Then 20 min later I got pulled over again. THis time I was more upset. THe officer was nice ad explained that my light was not technically out just the reflector was probably dirty making it hard to see. He then stated that they were pulling everyone over with any infraction so they could check for drunk drivers. I got another warning. (I should sate that I get pulled over all the time with that complaint and I am always checking the light to make sure it works. I drive a Mustang) Now I am running late for work and hoping I do not get a speeding ticket. I walked into report and one of the nurses put Carolyn's book 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden in front of me. I was so touched I almost started crying right there if front of everyone.

Kat,

I had a similar problem with the boys in blue harassing me with the excuse that my license plate light was out. (it never was)

I replaced the bulb with a super bright white LED bulb and now they have to find another lame excuse for pulling me over.

Here's a link to a place that sells the brightest, high quality automotive LED lights you can buy.

Give them a try and good luck in the future with your 'stang.

Whenever you visit my grave,

say to yourselves with regret

but also with happiness in your hearts

at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:


"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."


No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.
