Trial Of The Century

I saw the inside of a courtroom as a participant for the first time in my life today. Considering my previous life, that's an accomplishment within itself. However, I was there for a ticket I received in February. I won't bore you with the details, but I will share the best part (besides the no points, no class, and reduced fine):

The police officer, on his own volition, spoke on my behalf.

I was floored. As my attorney (the only one there with one, BTW) and the judge were going over some documents, the officer spoke up and said I was polite, easy to work with, and cause no problems whatsoever! Suffice to say, that's not my nature, as I dislike most authority figures simply by their nature. But this was nice. I followed the rules (since I was speeding), I calmly explained my case, and things worked out.

For those scoring at home, that's 6 in a row now. Wife passed bar + wife gets job + insurance pays sinkhole claim + interest check arrives + we get the house we want + I somewhat beat a ticket. Vegas, baby. Vegas.
