    This very well could be a turning point in my life. I've been looking for just that lately, so who knows.

    I learned to keep your eyes out when you drive as traffic cops can be on any road,


    i can't f_cking believe it some trafic cop decided to set up his trap right on my street two homes down from my house.

    It doesn't make any sense as barley any cars pass on my street.

    its like that cop knew when i whould be driving and exactly were to nail me

    Looks like its traffic court for me, again.

    I got away in court the first time i don't know if all get away the second time.

    but i did learn the last time that always,always do the court option because if you schedulle the court date 2 months after the offense the cop will probible forget and not show up.

    If he doesn't show up you win.

    i learned that the real name of verge foray was not myers myers as i had been irroniously led to believe but actualy
    howard l myers. also about the woman better known as james
    tiptree jr, who had been an experimental psychologist for
    the cia, (i knew about her being a her but not about that
    part of it) in 1987 killed her husband who was dying of
    alzhymer's and then herself (or at least that is what we
    are told) this also i had not previously learned.

    i did not however leave the comfort of my airconditioned
    cave/womb to learn these things but stumbled accross them
    in my usual shambling research right here (not RIGHT here
    on hip forums but) on the internet.

    i already KNOW the little trees in my garden are in serious need of being trimmed, and that the pavement outside is hot
    enough to fry eggs and that i need to sleep in the daytime
    so that i can continue my forrays about on the net in the
    quiet hours when my thoughts are lest likely to be corrupted
    by the coerciveness of human society

    I learned that sleeping in can be fun (I'm an early rister, and I almost always wake up too early).

    I learned that falling off of a mini-bike at 20-25 miles per hour will leave abrasions on my shoulder, arm, and knee.
