It’s the Kielbasa Kid…

…and I got pulled over back in early December. I was in Speers Pa. heading for I-70 and stopped at a 4 way intersection. I thought I did but apparently I blew right threw it and started down the on ramp to I-70 east when I noticed red blinking lights and thought, looks like a cop got someone, so I pull over expecting the cruiser to pass me by but instead it’s right on my butt. I’m thinking what did I do? So I grab my licenses, owners and insurance card and begin to wonder while looking into my side mirror, where is the officer? Next thing you know he’s tapping on the passenger window which didn’t scare the crap out of me but it was close. So I roll down my passenger window and he said, “you know why I pulled you over?” I said, “no.” He said I ran a stop sign. I said, “I did?” He said, “I SAW IT!” Well okay then. He says I could give you a ticket which would mean points against your license and insurance possibly going up. But instead I’m going to give you a citation. He asked if I lived at the address on my license. I said yes and that was it. A couple weeks go by. I forget about it and then boom. The citation arrives in the mail with a $193.00 fine. But check this out, it didn’t occur to me at the time because I forgot. My license was expired but he didn’t notice. I didn’t have my camera card on me either and never did find it. Yeah I lost my camera card which is no big deal. The DMV can look it up on line for $5.00. Add that to the citation and now I’m $198.00 in the hole and got no plans to add to the kitty. Well, I didn’t plan to run the stop sign either but like he said, “I SAW IT!”
