Damn Rabbits

I've been taking Dwayne to work every morning and picking him up every afternoon since the kids got here.  Logistically, this is super annoying and gas consuming but helpful since that means the kids (well, currently, kid) and I can go do things while he is at work.

You might know a driver like me.  You might be a driver like me.  I am consistently speeding; not dangerously so, but I definitely have a speed I am comfortable with.  I've gotten tickets before- after all, speeders are really playing the odds- but it has been a while since I was visited on by a ticket.

This morning I was driving hubby to work and a rabbit ran out into the road.  I slowed down and waited while it danced back and forth trying to decide which way to go and encouraged it to run for the safety of the woods, which it did.  We moved on and I saw yet another rabbit sitting peacefully by the road eating grass and that is when I believe I tempted fate.  Upon seeing the second rabbit I said,

"I've seen two rabbits already this morning! Do you think that means it's my lucky day?"

There was no crack of thunder or ominous laughing but I apparently pissed off someone.  As we got into LaVergne I was driving 44 in a 30 (and before ya'll get worked up- it wasn't residential) and got popped.  $110.00.  Nice.

I'm not that upset about it because I was speeding and there have been a gaggle of times where I've gotten away with it but I'm not gonna lie- I was looking for those fucking rabbits on the way home.
