| Sitting in the living room, playing with my guitar, I had one of those... inspiring moments... where my memory was NOT going to hold the words that seemed to stick relatively sweet with whatever I was strumming.  Yup!  I still have no clue what the title will be, but the finale track to neatly stack itself next to my other Moments of Bliss sure has some work left before completion. The only question that remains: "Will Richerd complete this song by the end of this year?"  | | |

Traffic Ticket Test I
After bowling with about 12 other heads @ Lucky Strike in Torrance, I drove quickly out of the parking lot, but made a full stop before a pedestrian crosswalk from one of the outdoor parking lots @ Del Amo Mall. I looked both ways before quickly driving toward Carson Street to make a left turn on a yellow light. All of a sudden, I saw lights flashing in my rearview mirror & heard a smug Torrance Police Department cop advising that I pull over from his microphone. What the heck was he pulling me over for? Well, I was about to find out...
"Do you know how fast you were driving in your modified vehicle?"
"Not really sir."
"I heard your exhaust while you were racing out of the parking lot. What other modifications do you have?"
"The exhaust is completely stock sir."
"You've gotta be kidding me! You mean to tell me you bought your car just like it is right now?"
"Well, I did install an intake, but it's C.A.R.B. legal sir."
"Oh yeah? Show me the proof!"
"Well... [digs thru glove compartment] I guess I don't have the written proof, but it definitely is legal sir."
"So... what violations do you have on your driving record?"
"I have a clean record, but you can go ahead and check for yourself sir."
"Well, I AM going to check, so sit tight."
"Yes sir..."
[approximately 5 minutes pass by]
"Y'know, I can hit you with 3 counts of reckless driving:
#1 you failed to completely stop by doing a California stop
#2 you could've hit children or any other pedestrians with your fixed up Golf
#3 your car is definitely modified. I could take you to jail & impound your car too, but..."
"Yes?"
"...but I'm going to let you slide cuz..."
"Because I'm a teacher? Here's proof that I'm a teacher."
[flashes ID]
"Oh, are you? I know why you're driving your car fast! You want to impress people, right? Tell me I'm right about that!"
[nods]
"Yes, you're right!"
[nods again]
"Of course I'm right! So, here's your license. I don't want to see you driving around here like that again, ya hear?"
"Yes sir!"
Once again, I passed another Traffic Ticket Test!  | | |

After having a terrific time with Emery & Briana @ Starbucks in Alhambra, I was *J-walking* thru stopped traffic with a sweet smile until ...
thud
-verb (used without object)
to strike or fall with a dull sound of heavy impact
- and it was a painful one, at that moment -
... a blue Toyota T100 pickup truck w/ license plate 5P66719 knocked me to the asphalt near the southwest corner of Atlantic & Valley. Too bad no one's created a seatbelt for pedestrians!
