So, around July of LAST YEAR, I was in a wreck because someone pulled out in front of me when they had a stop sign. So we wait around, and apparently the cop who was called to the scene an hour and a half later was dragged away from something VERY important, 'cause he was about as decent as a 4-year-old who just finished sitting in a pile of ants. Anyway, in order to issue as many tickets as possible, he nailed the other guy for not yielding to the right of way. Next, he turned to me and said I'd get a ticket because I had no insurance, because my insurance card, which had the same information as the current plan we had, was expired. I think "No problem" and call my dad, who passes by that way on the way to work anyway, and have him bring our current insurance info, which, not so coincidentally, had the same information as my expired card (minus the current expiration date), being the same insurance plan and all. And the guy won't accept it because it has my dad's name on it. lol. For serious now? What part of 2+2=4 doesn't this guy understand? Anyway, so I sent in a not guilty plea and got a court date set for August of LAST YEAR... which was then promptly canceled by the court "until further notice". So today I get a letter stating that it's been reset to August 26. Ok, again, seriously? We've now paid to push all this paper around court and keep track of it for a year, and now we're going to pay a judge/anyone else involved in this case over a 60-something dollar ticket that doesn't hold water because I had insurance and the policeman just wanted to give a ticket out? I mean, isn't the whatever-hundred-billion non-existent dollars we're spending to "stimulate" the economy a big enough waste without (doubtlessly) thousands of meaningless cases like this per day? But whatever, assuming the policeman even bothers to show up to the hearing, I'll just show them my proof of insurance and take the rest of the day off from work, then go home satisfied in knowing I finally had a chance to screw over the government after all they're doing to screw us over. Or wait, I guess since the citizens are paying for this, I'm screwing all of y'all over. Dang, sorry about that, guys...

In more important news than government wasting, I hope everyone had a happy Cow Appreciation Day. Hopefully I can finish something once I get back from helping with the Haitian kids, which I have to go do... now.
