I should also mention that this was the day I got a speeding ticket driving
home.
I knew better than to take Sample Road, which is under heavy construction,
but I figured that hey, it's like 1:30 am and there is no traffic what so
ever. That and well … I needed to get home. Nature calling and all that
(and I mean, it was calling).
So I'm speeding home along Sample. “Just a few more miles. Just a few
more miles. Just a few more miles,” was the mantra I kept saying to
myself when WHAM! Off to the right side, on the shoulder, blue
lights.
He caught me. Fair and square. I don't put up a fight as it only pisses
off the cop and I've found that generally if you take a positive attitude you
get off with a warning. But going the speed I was in the zone I was in
(construction) meant I probably wasn't going to get a warning.
I didn't.
But it could have been worse. It could have been 1:30 pm (of course, I
wouldn't be able to drive the speed I was if it had been 1:30 pm).
But neither did it take that long, for which I was grateful.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
