Including that highway patrol trooper standing practically in the passing lane on 71-South.

It took five years, but I have another speeding ticket to add to my list. Shit. I was unusually nervous upon being pulled over this time too — and really, really pissed off and frustrated at myself. So much, that I cried. I freaking cried for the first time in front of AB because of a fucking ticket. I felt so lame.

Yeah… anyway. The cop was a dick (shocker), and he separated me from AB, and made me sit in the back of his cruiser, and accused me of drinking (because I was chewing gum), and berated me about “my guy not liking cops” yet assuaging the belief he was under the legal drinking age. WTF? This incident was ripe for blog, for sure. My first time in the back of cop car. Fabulous. And I was “only” going 76. And NO, I was not drinking. And YES the cop made me enter his car on the freeway side of traffic. Now, had I been drinking, me thinks this would have been a superbly dick move on his part.

Aside from that, we had an awesome weekend, with Friday and Saturday spent in Columbus for the Memorial Tournament. It was a pretty cool sight watching Tiger Woods golf in person — so seemingly effortless. We didn’t follow him throughout the course on Saturday — just the first and 18th holes — but regardless, it was a beautiful day to be outdoors, on the grounds of a gorgeous course.

Sunday, we checked out the Kamm’s Corner Farmer’s Market, and although there is a serious deficiency in produce, it’s a nice outdoor market. I’m really happy to have Ohio City Pasta there this year, and it was fate that I would finally run into “Cowboy” George from p’Zazz Hot Sauces in person. I also brought home some interesting local cheeses made with milk from grass-fed cows.

Fully indulging in all things organic, I also stocked up with groceries from Nature’s Bin in Lakewood. And OMG, found a Pimento Goat Cheese, which is FABULOUS!

What weekend would be complete without a couple additions to my DVD collection? You know, for all those lame weekends I stay home. Right? I found “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” (I’m not sure how this wasn’t already in my collection) and “2 Days in Paris” (one of my favorite more recent releases) at Record Exchange on Detroit. Sweet!

Now, a weekend to relax with art, movie, perhaps a bike ride and writing(!!). And the leftovers from my delicious Mexican Lasagna that I made this week.

Cheers!

    yO, FUCK the police! It doesn’t help that I live next to the Zone Car Lounge and I have to watch all of their hypocrisy on a daily basis, but they are one kind of bacon I cannot dig on. The Man can go eat a bag of rotted dicks!

    p.s- Did I ever tell you the story of how I spent two weeks in jail for underage drinking? When I was 24? Now THAT was a good time.

    p.p.s- Speeding tickets are not all that hard to have reduced/dismissed. Just takes a small bit of research. Just sayin’.

    Some of em can be dicks I must say. Sorry you were treated like that. But I would have a consult with a lawyer anyway and try to at least have the ticket dropped and no points. Obviously the copper had been sitting on his baton that day. I date a Trooper and while I feel they get treated like shit by most of society, I don’t support unwarranted asshole tendencies.

    Jason, STFU! Your #1 PS is hysterical. I cannot wait to hear that story.
    And of course, I am too lazy and unmotivated to fight stupid speeding tickets.

    *sigh* “Here, Berea Courts, take my $200! ”

    LadyShay, to me, it’s not worth the fight. I’ll just take the stupid points and pay the stupid ticket. Dammit. My fault for speeding. I’ll (try not to) do it again. He’ll always be an asshole, and that’s on him.

    the only time i’ve been in the back of a cop car was when i indirectly caused an accident. On 90W, at 7 a.m. in the morning

    I had a similar cop experience a few years back. . .but I was alone, on 271, on a freezing cold night, and forced to take sobriety tests. ..not fun, to say the least!!

    Happy to hear the rest of your weekend was fun though ;)

    [...] a kinky cop fantasy? And while mine involves me in the backseat of a cruiser, it was not quite like this experience. Maybe I need to change the set-up to the engine hood or [...]
