MORE COPS:

Today on campus I notice this group of three police officers standing together and talking. Because of my "crush" I start checking them out just to see if maybe "he" is amongst them and anyway, to have a closer look at cops since they have sparked my curiosity. They notice that I am looking and stare straight back at me x-ray style, the way cops do. I become self-conscious and as I walk past them I realize that I am blushing...

10 minutes later I'm in my car. I pull out of my parking space and make an elegant u-turn across three lanes on an empty boulevard. Only then do I notice the cop facing me with his brand new motorcycle.

He makes his u-turn, pulls up next to me, with the flashing lights on and gestures to pull over. I never got a citation before even though I drive fast and systematically do rolling stops wherever I can, but I've never been caught. Until today.

Why today of all days? That was strange. Maybe a message? This cop was one of those annoying maggots with red skin and belly, he didn't even make an effort to be charming. He gave me a notice to appear in court. Thanks.

This helped to burst my bubble...

Warp_speed, I like your philosophy - live life to the fullest - but cops in LA are very different from Sweden. I wish I could just go with it, but this is not a safe way to do it and I also have to think of my s.o. when considering taking chances like this.

Thank God there are plenty of non-uniformed studs in the world, so no need to lose (any more) sleep over this one.
