Safety First


If there's one thing the DH has learned, it's the Arizona traffic laws and he's a very safe driver because of it. A year ago, we were stopped by a highway patrolman as we came out of a casino. The light turned red too quickly, we went through it and he appeared out of nowhere. The first question he asked was, "Have you been drinking?"---it was 8 AM and we'd just come from breakfast! Well, he wrote a ticket and wished us a nice day. Too late! After a trip to the county courthouse the DH was given two choices---pay a huge fine or spend a day in Traffic School. He opted for the class, which cost as much as the ticket, but it prevented an increase in insurance. He learned a valuable lesson, in spite of the fact that he took a lot of ribbing from his friends. There's a reason for everything and maybe that class saved our lives!
