My oldest son and his girlfriend decided to go to San Francisco for a mini vacation about a month ago.
I volunteered to watch their golden retriever, her name is Minnie and she loves to go for walks. I decided to take her along the bike path here in town. The trail is known have drunken homeless people and mountain lions that somehow never cross each others paths. I had my own two dogs with me as well, so I felt safe enough to venture down the paved trail.
Minnie doesn't stop to smell other dog pee scents along the way or observe anything in her surroundings. She is on the fast track to nowhere, loves to run, and had me and my two dogs jogging at a good pace for two miles. My only fear was getting tangled in the leashes and taking a tumble down the ravine with all the dogs in tow.
Minnie also loves cat food, much more than her own food, which really perturbed my Siamese cat 'Herbie'. He was happy when my son finally came and picked her up after his trip.
This past weekend my son called me up in a panic. Apparently he had gotten a traffic ticket while in the big city for making a left turn onto a one way road. He received the citation in the mail stating he had seven days to pay the traffic fine of $1200.
Of course the phone number is automated, and you can't get through to anyone at the court house. So, like a good mom, I tried calling the court house for him, to see if he will be able to make payments on this ticket since neither of us have 1200 dollars to pull out of our ass to give the city of San Francisco in 7 days. I had the same luck he did getting through to a real person,- none at all.
I can't believe it costs that much for making a wrong turn! They must be in dire need of funds.
Keeping my fingers crossed that I get through to a live person in the next couple of days and please, whatever you do; don't get a ticket in San Francisco!
