Tom Goes to a Place Near the Mayor

Yup, I've got a court date in Houston. No, not for trafficking drugs or attempted assault on Brian Cook, but instead... for speeding tickets. Two of them. And one was in a school zone, in which I was going 39 mph. One more mile per hour and I would have been a felon. Would you take me seriously if I were a convicted felon? I certainly would: haven't we built up some sort of trust in the past year?

Anyway, as you may have noticed, I've been on hiatus for a while, and will be for the remainder of the preseason. October is a busy time of the year for me in Columbia, and the fact that I can't view preseason games isn't helping anything. However, come October 28th, when you're looking for a recap of the win over Portland on opening night (knock on wood), you won't be disappointed. Unless you think my writing sucks. Then you're out of luck.

Who knew a moped could go 39 miles per hour?

(Just kidding)

:^P

Seriously, gotta ease up on that gas pedal, dude.

Been in more than my fair share of auto accidents. SPEED KILLS!

Slow down, man…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Looking forward to the recap on the 28th.

I think if you were a convicted felon, it certainly would be even more interesting.

i think the other ticket was a little worse than this one.

As a traffic attorney, I can assure you you can not become a felon from speeding. Not unless you ran the kids over. Good luck on your tickets. Don’t let them go on you record.
