american spirit

i'm not happy with any of my photos today. but this one at least tells a tale.

i had to deal with a traffic ticket today out in beaverton. it was a frustrating process, to say the least, but i got it dropped with only a $15 admin charge. it was such a bogus ticket anyway.

so i figured i'd use the opportunity to take care of my blip. take a shot of some cop cars or something to commemorate my experience. i was doing just that when one of the cops came out and asked me what i was doing. apparently they are all paranoid since 9/11 and i should have asked permission first. well, the guy wasn't that bad. he did say i didn't look like a terrorist or anything. whew! ;-)
