What happened to you today?

Well.... Today I got a ticket in the mail. My grandmother was hurt last Saturday and I drove cross country. Went thru Memphis at about 1am. Interstate becomes a main drag through the outskirts of town andnit ain't a "nice" place. Sitting at an intersection when a vagrant starts approaching my vehicle at a red light. I eased forward in the intersection to avoid the confrontation when the camera light flashed. I now expect a traffic ticket is coming in the mail for running a red light. Not too sure how I will handle that.
 
The front struts of my car filled up with slush and froze or something, apparently. Also, I saw a car which had spun off the road and narrowly missed a large tree in a row of trees. I stopped and a girl got out and said someone was coming to get them and that they were okay. I know that most people have cell phones, but I figure it never hurts to stop and see if everything's okay.
 
Today I parallel parked my car in the tightest space ever ... less than 6" of clearance on both sides. They don't call em bumpers for nothing :woot:

^ my arse / ^ car behind me

I wouldn't have tried that if either of those vehicles didn't already have dents and scratches all around.

Guitarist was impressed :thumbsup:

You get that ticket in the mail yet? They're usually really quick to send them out. Occasionally I've triggered one in a similar creeping up or right turn situation, but they may somehow cull some of them for disposal that aren't clearly cut and dry violations. I've been hoping that for you since seeing this posted over the weekend. *fingers crossed*

Edit: upon rereading your post, I'm now confused by the first sentence vs the last. Which is it?? I'd like to uncross my fingers if you don't need them like that :smug:
