One of them targeted me while I was sitting and waiting in my car at Firestone High School to pick up my granddaughter and take her home. He came to my car, tapped on the window, I opened the window, and in a gruff voice said give me your drivers license . . . no explanation, just a pointed order . . and then he walked back to his patrol car. After a fifteen minute wait for something to happen I got out of my car and started walking toward the officer's car. Suddenly the officer jumps out of his car and shouts at me . . GET BACK IN YOUR CAR . . . another fifteen minutes goes by and he shows up at the window, hands me a citation for parking less than twenty feet from a crosswalk. And then he has the gall to tell me that he could have taken me into custody.

My Mom "flipped out" so we "up-graded" to a better-class junker which then promptly overheated on the Ohio Turnpike on the way back to school after total drive time of ten miles. The car was smoking so badly and appeared to be catching on fire so I was madly throwing out textbooks from the back seat, all of which were more costly than that car!<br />The dealer "kindly" took back that lemon--from the back of the tow truck--and for more money, sold me a pricier junker.<br />...And while driving that "beater" car, I got pulled over twice by the Highway Patrol: once right in front of the Perry nuclear power plant, in a thunderstorm, for suspicion of driving a stolen car! And then on the Turnpike for suspicion of being Patty Hearst! Ha! What times!<br />...In med school, with rotations through different hospitals, I was constantly walking parking decks, from top to bottom, searching for my car, especially after being on-call overnight.Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-32681729398718010272014-04-07T17:45:39.796-07:002014-04-07T17:45:39.796-07:00you went to the wrong place to unload the '79 ...you went to the wrong place to unload the '79 ford. there is this place on kenmore boulevard . . .
