Even at my age, I have firsts! I enjoy my kid's firsts. First day of school, first time riding a bike, first trip to the zoo, etc. We document those and take pictures and we enjoy them!
I got a "first" of my own yesterday, and I haven't had one of those in a long time. It was even documented and pictures were taken.
I got a speeding ticket by radar/hidden camera in the mail yesterday. I was a rebel. I was going a blazing 31 in a 20 speed zone. I wondered what that flash of light was on Monday.
The police traffic division was so kind to take a picture of me driving, sending the picture to me, and also letting me know that for this great documentation of my "first time getting a speeding ticket" it will cost me $145.00.
Firsts at this age ain't so grand.

OH NO! I had my first one last year. I'm not sure if you were reading my blog back then. I was doing 35 in a school zone - just spaced out and didn't see the signs.
Oh great! I still have not had a ticket, but have been pulled over for "tailgaiting" and having a light out! bummer! my husband got nabbed by one of those camera ticket things! they sure are sneaky! Congrats on your first ticket! LOL!

ps if you go to court, just show up, they will reduce it! don't have to take a class or anything!
Sorry, AMG! This happens to the best of us! J got a ticket last year for not stopping completely...he was less than one block from Biola, too. Ugh! It's not like the fees are cheap, too.
Hi all,
Tracy, I had just begun reading your blog last summer when the ticket came up. Honestly--I was driving in a zone that I have driven in thousands of times--I had no idea it was a school zone. Because all other times I am in a school zone I slow down to 20. UGH!
Okay, F and Angela, you guys know each other. Specifically, your husbands do. Both of your husbands did data entry for Providence a million years ago. Remember??
Tickets stink. Period.
