Now for old people. OLD TWITTER?I got stopped one night for turning into a gas station going through a red light so long that I thought it must be stuck. # cop cars immediately appeared out of nowhere to follow me in. Then it began. First after taking my license and registration I had to wait about an hour while all the cops talked with each other. so I walked my dog while waiting. I am white and old and I had just delivered some dogs to a rescue group so I had cages in my back seat. Why was I coming so far from home to bring dogs HERE? Well I said because my director is so very good at placing them for adoption. Hmmmm his look said. Then more cop cars pulled into the service station. Then I get asked where I lived before the place on my driver’s license. I told him. Then where did I live before that. I told him. (Then I figured out what was going on. Is this lady Alzheimers and do we need to take her to the emergency room.) So I said to him “And before I lived there I lived X, and before X I lived Y, and so on. I said I can go back to all my addresses since I was born. How far can you go back?” He walked away to talk to the other cops again. Then I got a ticket. Then he told me how to get to the interstate. He gave me the wrong directions too. There’s more that concerns the ticket etc but I wont go there. So I know. I really know. It helps to have a good haircut when you stop and the cop comes to your window. And a nice smile and “Did I do something wrong, officer?”
