The Traffic Stop!

You know how it goes. You're tooling along. You've got the music turned up. The pedal's to the metal. You're jammin' to some serious tunes. Maybe even singing along very loudly and possibly off-key.

And then suddenly you see the flashing lights in your rear-view mirror! What? Now you're being pulled over! Bummer! What a way to ruin a very nice day! And the conversation goes something like this . . .

Officer: Driver's license and registration, please!
Tabbycat: *surly look; no reply*
Officer: Do you have any idea how FAST you were going?
Tabbycat: BITE me, officer!
Officer: I'm sorry, sir. I'm going to have to take you in!

Well, that didn't go very well at all, now, did it!????  :-)

The soundtrack: Van Halen, I Can't Drive 55.

P.S. Long before this traffic stop, a friend went picture-taking with me at the Arboretum on this morning. There's a shot of a really lovely snowberry clearwing (Hemaris diffinis, a variety of hummingbird moth) in the extras!
