It was an ok con. It’s the first one, so I didn’t have high expectations. It’s small, it’s in an out of the way place, it would be fine as a one day con. We did meet the dude who runs this con – AND he does the Nashville con, too. So we’ll probably go check out the Nashville con to see how it is. And as usual, we met some Atlanta people like we always do when we go to an out of town con. LOL It’s nice to make connections!
On the way back, Nick got popped outside of Chattanooga for going 75 in a 45…work zone. Yah, this one’s gonna hurt! I’m betting it’s $600. The cop wasn’t too dickish and didn’t harass us because we had the wrong insurance card on us. [Cop downgraded the ticket and it only cost about $200 if I recall. -A Dec 2015] I’m just glad it was Nick driving! I REALLY don’t need any more points! I’m sure I’m at the borderline now. The fabricated passing a school bus and running over little black children one and the wreck one should be gone soon. Then I’ll have the last one for “running” a stop sign. I rolled it, ok? Whatever. It was 7 fucking am.
Then after my poor Weasel getting all torqued up from the ticket, a trailer being pulled by a pickup had a tire explode in front of us and he almost ran my car under a Suburban. He, of course, denies this, but he also denies that he tailgates, too, so… (It’s an ongoing argument between us – it’s best to just nod and not take sides!) Needless to say, the Weasel was quite perturbed for the rest of the trip but we did get home in one piece. :)
That’s really all that’s going on. We’re going to a block party on Saturday and then doing Twain’s and Decatur fireworks on Sunday. I hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth!
