This morning I was in traffic court. I waited (waded) thru a short
list of minor misdemeanors commited by fellow Helanianians untill
it was my turn.

The judge recieted the bare facts of the case doing 70 in a 60
mile zone .
Did you do this?
yes
Waive you right to a lawyer?
yes
DO you plead gulity ?
Yes
He paused for a second ( a big mistake)
I told him I was going fishing and I ws just coming to a rise
over looking the Missourri River. My eye was immdeiately caught by a
dark cloud of bugs, which I knew to be BWO s; I saw dimples on the
water, my heart sped up and I inadvertently hit the gas, just as a
cop was coming up the other side of the rise with his radar on....

So you I was speeding and considering the circumstances... could you
do something about the points?

He said he understood and waived the points, as long as i take him
fishing sometime. True story .
