KANGAROO COURT


So that damn CHP officer showed up yesterday, causing me to lose my bid to have the speeding ticket he gave me on Thanksgiving day dismissed. 

$366, plus $52 for traffic school (sigh).

I suppose the only positive in all of this was that it went down in a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed courtroom, which as an ardent FLW fan, was kind of cool.

Oh yeah, the judge did commend me on a 28-year spotless driving record, and immediately followed up with:

I'm assuming you'll want to do traffic school so you won't have the point on your record?

Well, duh.
