I hear that.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I had a holiday today, since I got nothing done yesterday but finishing my book-club book. Mostly because I was recovering from the urgh on Saturday night. But I really should have made the effort to vacuum, at least.
And I woke up this morning to a very strong smell of dog poop. Turns out (cut for ickiness) my dog ate some old poop in the yard last night, and then vomited it up in two places in the front bedroom this morning. The whole house stinks.
Off to a great start for the week, wahoo. But I am having lunch with some potential employers on Friday, so that's something.

Consuela, that's worthy of a dog-shaming photo.

Julie,
um, they impound your car for an expired reg? Did I miss this shit or just forget? I had no idea! That seems like a harsh penalty.
Sorry for your troubles and may things go smoothly tomorrow.

Yeah, that happened to me once. I don't think they have to but they certainly can make the argument that the car is not street legal.

When I got ticketed by a CHP for an expired reg he noted that some of his cohorts just loved taking the car away there on the spot, so I should just get it taken care of as soon as possible.

My oldest brother worked as a manager at a TGIF in Boston for a couple of years back in the late 80s, and the parking situation there was so bad, that he would just park on the street and get tickets every night because none of the paid lots would stay open until he closed the restaurant at 2AM. (Nor did the T run that late, I don't think.)
Anyway, he ran up something like $1500 in unpaid parking tickets, and got himself booted. The car was off the street for a couple of months, and he was reduced to riding a hot pink bicycle (it was on discount) to work while he paid off the fines. It was pretty ridiculous.
Now, he's a hotshot Chicago restaurateur and nobody gives a shit about his parking tickets. Shit happens, and even if it's stupid, it happens to everybody.

I don't understand. For an expired reg, why don't they just issue a fixit ticket (like they do windshields) and give you 30 days?
I get the boot for unpaid parking tickets, because the ticket is your citation (the price of parking tickets on the other hand...), but for expired reg? That seems too harsh.

We have baseball tickets for tonight - field level tickets for $10.40 in honor of tax day plus it is Jackie Robinson day. Now if only the weather complies. It is raining/snowing right now. Sigh. I want baseball.
