五月二号一大早送儿子去机场。回来在还有两分钟就到家的Saddleback Road被警察拦下。警察说Saddleback是50Km zone,我开65。给了一张speeding ticket,89刀。不幸得是我的保险4月27日到期,新的邮来了,但我忘了换。No Insurance! 172刀。跟警察解释了半天,就是不行。最终还是拿了两张罚单。郁闷。4 r1 X2 B5 |* H5 Z" t

今天去交罚款。下午2点出门去LRT站。It was windy. 虽然有太阳,但不是很暖和。缩着脖子来到车站。做LRT到Churchill Station,沿着通道直接就到了Court。"that gentleman. Security check", somebody called at me. 我突然注意到进Court要过安检。脱了夹克、皮带,钱包,手机,和机场安检差不多。

在Court正门边有一个厅,就在那里交罚金。排了几分钟队,看到Cashier那有一个Sign: "All cell phone must be turned off"。我的手偷偷地在口袋里把手机关成了震动。' \. Q; k, @2 P: a

在小房间里呆了最多两分钟。到Cashier那交了89刀后,走出Court。外面风和日丽,阳光明媚,真是一个好天气。 |
