Kyle and I have been slowly melting away as the days get hotter and hotter. Now I know why cars have AC and MAX AC. It's like stepping out into a blow dryer on high heat. I don't know how anyone gets used to it. It's kind of like the police officers here in Schertz. They are everywhere and really like pulling drivers over who go over the speed limit by 10% and when no one is on the road. Not from personal experience though, well that is until yesterday. Ever since we moved here, Kyle has been very attentive and makes sure to drive the speed limit well actually he likes to drive UNDER the limit and if I'm driving... well lets just say he worries a lot that we will get a ticket, because the Schertz police are ticket happy!
So yesterday I was heading down a residential street just truckin along on my way to pick up Kyle from work and as I passed the navy blue sedan on my left I quickly realized it was the POPO and that I was going a tad bit faster than 20MPH. So I did what my "soon-to-be lawyer" brother taught me to do! I immediately pulled over, rolled down the windows (hoping that the "blow dryer" air would help keep me cool), turned off the car and got my license, registration and insurance.
Of course I was nervous and embarrassed but mostly because I always tell Kyle that I wasn't looking forward to Kyle saying "I told ya so!" (Which by the way he rarely ever does) So with that hanging over head Officer What'sHisName approached, told me He pulled me over for speeding and took my information. Then after what seemed to have been enough time for me to sweat in areas I never thought I could, I looked in my side mirror, saw Officer RedSpikeyHair start walking back and I saw it. The ticket. My heart sunk. But the next words He spoke were as good as if he were holding one of those cooling mister fans in my face.
"I'm going to let you off with a warning. Please sign here to confirm that I did pull you over" or something to that effect! YIPEE!!! A WARNING!! Lucky for me now I don't have to spend my birthday moneys on a speeding ticket! What a great feeling. I concluded our conversation with a "Thank you so much Sir, I really appreciate it" and He kindly responded "Have a safe day. " You know these Schertz police aren't so bad after all! And then I remembered His name. Officer Flowers.
