Callie's friend got pulled over last night in front of our house because she didn't signal before she parked on the street, so he thought she was drunk. It was after 11, and she had to be the only one on the street, well except for the police. They ended up giving her a ticket for not having a current insurance card. It reminded me of another story.
When we first moved here (just about 3 years ago) one of the hardest things to deal with was the 25 mile an hour speed limit. We just weren't used to it. One Saturday morning, the soccer team was having a fund raiser in conjunction with the Joe Mama's Car Show here it town. They sent Wes to get ice. You should know that the Jerome police department gives out as many tickets on that weekend as the do the rest of year.
So Wes went to get ice and then got back in his car and drove a block or two and got pulled over. The officer had been following him and found it highly suspicious that he had gone in the gas station and come out so quickly. ????? Wes told him he was buying ice and needed to get it back. Highly suspicious! Well, the car had expired plates, so he got a ticket.
So if you come for a visit, don't think for a minute that driving the speed limit is enough. With Andy and Barney in the patrol car, looking highly suspicious or not signaling is enough to get you pulled over.

A ticket for not signalling to pull of to the side of the road? That borders on the extreme, even for me, who thinks that nobody uses their signals enough. The Jerome PD could make a killing here in CA.
On a more happy note, Happy Birthday Lisa! Don't look suspicious.
That's hilarious. As long as it isn't happening to you.
Happy birthday!
