Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's usually my reaction, but it could be because I'm never really paying attention for cops. Which is just another variant on driving while white, really.
My sole reaction when I see a cop while I'm driving is "Shit, did they get me???" because I am generally driving over the speed limit. And I am very aware that is the definition of being privileged as hell.
Cops like to slide in behind people to try and frighten them into doing something dumb. When a cop pulls up behind me, I double check my speed and confirm in my head that the registration is current, then I keep motoring. I've had more than one cop visibly pout and pull out from behind me and speed off ahead.

Last week on the way to Wisconsin I was going, um, let's call it 85. Definitely, mostly, not 90. In a 55.
Right next to the State Trooper, and all the other traffic. He was just cruising along with everybody else. It was really bizarre.
I've told you about my encounter with SHIELA on the way back using that route, haven't I?
Announcement: Triple Chocolate Kit Kats are, in fact, pretty darn chocalety.
this post brought to you by Halloween candy being readily available.
Feel like hammered crap. Have gotten almost nothing done at work today. Overlooked a thing that is going to be causing me some problems soon. Minor problems, but still, don't need no more problems. Should've called in sick, but too much work to do. Gonna go take a nap, then order a pizza and work late. Boss comes back from vacation tomorrow, don't want her to see any late statuses on the TPS Report!
Triple Chocolate Kit Kats
I don't need any of these, but man, I need some of these.
Oh, well, no nap after all. Damn.
I went to Trader Joes for pumpkin goodness and found baking mix pumpkin stuff but that was about it. (It's a small Trader Joes).
But they had Belgian Chocolate Pudding - it was so good and so rich. I did not buy it because I would make myself sick eating. BUT They paired it with spiced pumpkin seeds and that was yummy.
Ooh, that sounds really good, askye.
I am bummed about your missed nap, Zen! BTW, have I mentioned that I do sometimes need to run a TPS report? Cracks me up every time. Actually cracks me up every time I see the option on a menu.
Timelies all!
I've been lucky and haven't had any encounters with the police while driving. I do tend to be a bit cautious about speed limits, though.
