And therein lies the rub, as you Shakespearean Scholars like to say.

I actually got stopped just the other day for making an illegal turn.

That's not that hard to do here in Mobile Alabama.

They have the most fucked up frontage road design in the world.

I'm retired FDOT and I can tell you that our traffic ops people would laugh their asses off if they could see it.

I was tempted to tell the Cop that, but instead I was just ultra respectful and got off with a warning.

Us 67 year old Graybeard's can generally pull that off.

But I can tell you this. If I had been born black I would be dead or in prison right now. There is no way I would put up with the shit they hae to take from Cops.
