I got nailed Wednesday night on my way home. The one major route out of the city used to be three lanes, one in each direction and a turning lane in the middle. Now the turning lane is gone and it is a nice wide, straight, open highway going out into the country, with an 80 km/hr speed limit until the township line. I don't really know how fast I was going, I was listening to music and daydreaming, until I got pulled over. Cop reduced the ticket to 15 over, which is only $52 and no points on your license. 20 over is the first level with points.

You are lucky Mel, over here in Queensland that is 3 points and $227. We only get 12 points so you don't want too many of them. Our police don't ever drop the speed either these days, they are under instruction to raise a smuch revenue as possible because the states broke!

You're thinking of Mrs. Cleaver's little boy.

I always thought Beaver Cleaver was an awesome name. At least if you're a porn film actor.

2-8 points results in a warning letter
9-14 points is possible suspension
15+ points is minimum 30 days suspension

At 16 kms over the limit you get 3 points. The worst part is your insurance company will be notified.

JJ - we see a lot of that on holiday weekends here. Especially when there's a big winery event.

Holiday weekends are like that here as well though TX cops seem to be more interested in people actually doing something stupid and let me tell you, in TX we have plenty of stupid drivers. Ever seen a Texas exit?

JJ, nice to see a friendly cow face. Hope everyone here is well.

Wow! Wu wei in the house!! How long has it been?

Hey Theague! 5 months this time. 3 years before that. Not shooting much anymore- a few concerts here and there- so sold all my gear. Just got new stuff for Christmas and I'm already having to get rid of the 70-200 f2.8. Kid needs his engine rebuilt. Was really looking forward to the Styx concert in a couple months.

Happy to see you are still Mister Monkey Pants!

Mooo...

Wow Wu, hi!

It has been a long time. Here anyway, less than an hour on Facebook.

How I spent yesterday...

why?

I mean, shouldn't you be retired by now?
