The race does not alway go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong,

but that's the way to bet.

Beat 'em on both counts this week.

I was proceeding at a safe and legal speed the other day on westbound I-80, when "the man" pulled me over on a trumped up speeding charge. Had to fight that one. Even though it meant going up against the formidable Dallas County prosecutorial machine. The officer noted on the citation that my court appearence was at 9:30 PM. I showed up and I was alone in that! No prosecutor. No judge. No arresting officer. Turns out the courthouse (picture above) closes at 4:30 PM.

Net result? Case dismissed.

Slow and weak takes this round. Nice looking courthouse though, isn't it?
