29 and never been...

It finally happened. I don't know how I managed to hold out this long really. I mean, I speed all the time. I will shimmy though yellow lights that may have been more on the red side. I roll though stop signs occasionally - ok, really almost every day the one at the end of my street, but No One stops there, I swear. So it was only a matter of time.

And this morning I got pulled over... for the first time ever.

Freaking Kolher's Crossing. Why are is the speed limit 40?!? There's nothing there!! Except cops staking out the area. Yeah, I knew they were there too. They've been casing that spot for a while now, because it's flipping 40 mph and it's really hard to drive that slow on a four lane road that has very little traffic. And Kyle PD got me this morning going 49. Really that's not that bad...

So here I am, 29 and never had a ticket. And it's still true, cause the very nice officer let me off with a warning. Thank you, Jesus!

And did you know they can look your insurance information up on their computer now? Say, if you only have an expired insurance card on you but can't seem to find it in the messy glove compartment :)

It was a real stomach-falling-into-your-feet kind of way to start the weekend...

Let's go Out!

GO TEXAN is an initiative started by the Texas Department of Agriculture. It's all about helping Texas based businesses of all kinds. It started mainly to promote agricultural business, but has expanded to almost anything made in the state of Texas.

Later this month my company is helping to sponsor the Restaurant Roundup. If you eat at participating restaurants during Sept 28 to Oct 2, a portion of your meal will be going to the area's food bank. There seems to be a wide range of restaurants involved, from nice places like Eddie V's to McDonald's. Click here to see a list of your area.

This is a great cause and all you have to do is eat out. Help the food banks and Texas businesses at the same time.
