I read this and seriously laughed out loud HH. I am really glad you were able to get some satisfaction from the police. It always makes me feel good when people post stories like this.
But from one friend to another, it made me laugh knowing you from this board and knowing that you are the only person I know that would have the cajones to not only approach an Officer in the middle of a traffic stop, but then interrupt his lecture to add your own two cents.
Not that I think what the Officer had to say was more important than what you did. It's just that most people wouldn't do that. Glad you got to the party safely, and I hope you had a good time.
P.S.: I also went out with the family today and took my son for his first "long" ride on his new Hardrock sport. It was 12 miles and I was able to do a lot of safety teaching and teach him that 12 miles was really no big deal on a bike. We covered it in a little over an hour and hardly broke a sweat.
P.S. x2: I love the old black and whites. I still wonder why departments ever went away from them.
