    Well, you know, lawyers. :x (most of them are scum)

    Best you can do is know your rights, accept what you did wrong, "yes sir/no sir/ma'am" your way through it, tell'em good day, and go on about your business until you mail off the check to the court or show up to court and hope the cop don't show.

    My dad loves court dates. He gets paid to show up and generally speaking they never even call him to the stand.

    His favourite story was one time a lawyer was trying to get a client out of a DUI, and after being called to the stand and explaining the events of the night in question, the lawyer started grilling him on the breathalyzer. After satisfactorily answering all his questions, the lawyer decided to get nasty and said 'well, as a police officer, exactly what makes you qualified to understand the functionality of a breathalyzer?'

    And my dad, without skipping a beat, replied 'I assumed it was my Bachelor's degree in organic chemistry, but if you have a better explanation I'd love to hear it.' He said it was the only time this guy had ever been rendered speechless.

    Moral of the story: Never assume a cop is a cop because they're not educated enough to do anything else.

    Tonight I ate pizza with chilies, ricotta, and sausage

    There is one incredible pizza joint in town
    Brixx?

    No, there's a better one than Brixx, even for thin crust stuff
    Do tell.

    Sticks & Stones

    Why, are you also in Greensboring?
    I am in Kernersville. The smaller, even more dull brother to Greensboro.

    Actually I think that's Winston Salem, or maybe High Point

    But I didn't know you were so nearby!
    Kville is way more boring than Winston. The only advantage it has over anywhere is the $3 theater.

    Yeah, but Kernersville is more of a growth than a brother, I think
    Ahahaha. I believe you are correct.

    I've met Meiss, Chico and Vorus once, and never met trent. At some point I shall have to rectify this.

    Better than fuckin' Texas and I'll stand by that till I die

    Even the weather in Texas sucked

    I was either freezing my balls off or sweating them off, there was no fucking middle ground

    Part of that was the ABUs are complete shit but most of it was fuck Texas

    Although, probably the most infuriating dudes weren't the two Texans, it was the good ol' boys from Alabama

    Bunch of bigoted assholes

    edit: Totally misread your post.

    It isn't too bad really. It stays in a comfortable range most of the time.

    And I was exaggerating a bit with the 40's. Probably more like mid to high 50's.

    Only thunderstorms are better than just rain when I'm trying to sleep.

    Do you know what sucked about my time in Texas

    The 319 training squadron, where you go while you're waiting to separate/on med hold, is the closest squadron to the gate on that side of the base

    Not 500 yards away from my bed was the gate out of there

    And over the fence, on a clear day, you could see a McDonald's sign
