+1 or where ever I fall in the + line

The natives stay clear of the tourist areas unless they work there and then they know how to avoid the hords.

Many believe that when two non related, not in relationship, etc. FTers meet up for drinks it's an official DO.

I heard they are a bunch of internet computer geeks or something.

I have Airbus's on order along with a stash of Avro's. Hopefully Mr Airbus is more profitable than the MD.

Thank you.

As does CA. Gotta love webtrafficschool.com. :D

mwg25 in my experience, appeal the ticket and do what CM suggested, particularly if the ticket was issued by a local municipality. All they really care about is getting money and giving you points doesn't get them anything.

I did a comedy driving school in TX and I got a free chicken fried steak meal out of it too.:p

This time of year in North Texas the weather can be pretty severe. Sounds like the only thing you missed was the wailing sound of the tornado sirens going off.

back to the traffic school thing, in NJ you can do the AAA course online if you wanted to take points away, but the best thing to do is go to court and get the points reduced there, then if you still have points left over you can go the school route.

I never did defensive driving in Texas where I got a meal. I actually only did it in person once; and then online a couple of times. It was always ridiculously easy but took way too long. The one time I did it in person the instructor had other plans for the second evening of the class, so we got out that night about two hours early.

I had to do one traffic school for a bogus ticket. The oficer clocked the car that was passing me but stopped me for his speed, I was going 5MPH over speed limit but being passed by someone else doing 15MPH over. I did the online course and it was easy enough and cheap.

I got another ticket by Tx DPS officers for going 70 in a 55mph zone that had been set the day before, on thanksgiving day(I got the ticket)! I was at my grandparents and there was no sign from the road there to he point I was stopped.
I had every day already booked with travel and a move before the date to appear in court so I had to plea guilty and wrote a long letter. the judge actually wrote me back thanking me for noticing no signs between these roads, and he took my ticket fees. He however did not report it as a ticket to the state and I am 5 year violation free with insurance due to that. At 25 yo that is a significant discount :D

Forgot to mention too, mwg25: your driving history should speak for itself with the local prosecutor if he/she has any brains. If you've been cop-free for five years or more and the prosecutor doesn't give that some kind of respect, that's very :rolleyes: and not at all cool. And if they make you a no-point offer, take it regardless of the fine. Paying the fine before leaving the courthouse beats the hell out of getting that insurance notification in the mail and paying more for two or three years.

It was in Lubbock at the Home Plate Dinner.

I feel my fist of rage coming on. I think it's time to look for a new job.

I love Project Managers who decide to schedule a meeting and let you know 20 minutes before not giving any consideration to your time.

I figured you were going to say Golden Corral. I have seen those massive banners hanging off so many of them, it is like a billboard on the side of the building, really trashy looking huge red letters.

In theater we make a point of not showing up even if we're just eating a sandwich.

Good morning Box.

+1....even though I heard it late yesterday, did not post as I was getting over the Cavs game :(.

Funny, even though I'm not doing well compared to others in AM2 I find myself checking it out first before going to FT.
