On probation...

Well I fixed up the situation with the ticket in MT. Enterprise. (See blog a couple of weeks back.) Without the need for lawyers or guns, cold hard cash got me off the hook, no reports to the old driving record, only thing is I must avoid trouble for the next 90 days that involves Mt. Enterprise's finest. They call this deal "probation." I spend about 30 minutes a week in Mt. Enterprise, 3 minutes driving through on my way to Kilgore and 3 minutes a day driving back times 5 days a week equals 30 minutes over Tokyo so to speak where I must avoid the air I mean speed defense system.

As Bill Cooney likes to say, "if cash can solve your problems, you aint got problems." He likes to say that when it aint his cash.

So I guess I am still free to exploit the other 254 municipalities, principalities and unincorporated republics of the great state of Texas. Trouble there may mean branching out to law breaking in other states, if I can't go straight, I mean slower.

I don't mind the money so bad, my only regret is this terrible mug shot that appeared in the Mt Enterprise Democrat, the local newspaper. (mount.e.democrat.com)
