• Busted in Chicago and puppet porn

  I got home today and got a letter from the Chicago Dept of revenue.  I had no idea who that was and almost threw it away.  It turned out it was a $100.00 running a red light ticket.  The proof, a small before and after picture of my van running a red light.  Then a bigger picture of my license plate.   The picture was grainy and in black and white, but I'm still pretty sure they got me.  Since it was black and white I almost wanted them to prove it was red, but I think the position of the darkest one, gives it away. 
  Expunge does not think I have to pay it since it didn't come in registered mail.  I have to agree.  First, Dept. of revenue does not even sound like a running, red, light, traffic , thing.   It sounds like City of Chicago's way to make money.  I mean seriously, it's almost impossible to NOT run a red light in Chicago.  They change so fast, people are always walking when  it's your turn,  and the busses and cabs cut you off and make you all nervous.  Also, whatever happened to good old fashioned police stopping.  If there  is  no cop around, your supposed to get away with this stuff.  $100.00, give me a break!  Talk about a rip off.  It's not like I was drunk driving or something.   How can they prove I got the letter?  Do they have a camera on me getting my mail?  It actually wouldn't surprise me.  Big Brother is always watching you .
  Not only that, it happened a month ago.  I didn't even realize I did it.  I think I should be able to plea insanity or something. 
  I hate driving in Chicago.  In fact, I think driving in a major city should be outlawed.  It is the most nerve wracking experience.  I'm surprised more people are not hit by cars in the city.  No one pays attention, and people just walk across the street, even when it says don't walk. 
  New York is worse though.  You couldn't pay me to drive in that city.  The cabs go 100 miles and hour and practically mow people down. 
  I just remarked to Matt the other day how much I liked the city of Chicago.  It's a very clean city, very pretty.  But now I know why.  They can afford to be clean because they are charging $100.00 to every random person who accidentally runs the red lights. 
  Well I'm not paying.  They can just find another way to pay their street cleaners.  I will also be taking a train from now on. 
  In fact, I am going to see Avenue Q with a friend, her daughter, and Matt on Friday.  We WILL NOT be driving.  We will however be seeing puppet porn.  I just learned an entire song is all about making noise when your having sex.  Apparently, the puppets have oral sex and try out different positions during the song.  My friend said we might learn something.  I don't think I want to learn from puppets, and I definitely don't want to learn with my 19 year old son sitting next to me.  I'm really not the kinky type, so puppet sex is not my thing.  But it got great reviews and since were taking the train, no $100.00 fine letters will be coming.
   If we have time I think I should go to the Chicago Department of Revenue and spit gum on their sidewalk. 

  I bet the sexual puppets don't have these problems.
