Wanted: Dead or Alive

Ok, well maybe it wasn't quite that serious. But apparently, in College Station, a defective headlight is a serious enough offence to warrant being pulled over not once, but twice in one night. Actually it was twice within two minutes. And we weren't going for a long evening drive either. We were heading home from a late dinner at a place close to home. Our total drive time might have been 10 minutes. But somehow we managed to get stopped twice.

Fortunately, we got off with a warning from the first cop. (Side note: the windows on cholo don't roll down. So when the cop sidled up to our window, I had to signal to him that our window didn't open and then speak to him through the open door.) When he returned my Ontario licence to me, he asked 'Why'd they put a big ol' flower on your licence?', noting the trillium on the licence. I thought maybe he was going to give me a warning for having an excessively beautified licence too.

Barb saw the second pull-over before it happened. The cop was driving toward us and immediately pulled a U-turn. Barb started laughing instantly. And didn't stop. Not even when the cop came to our door. He didn't stay very long anyway. When he came to our door, I had the warning on my lap. He immediately asked 'You been stopped for this already?' without saying what 'this' was.
'Yessir.'
'Alright then. You have a good evening.'
'I will, sir.'

Who'd have thought that coming home from dinner could be so eventful?
