Thoughts on cops

Wayne got pulled over today.
He couldn't figure out why?
He wasn't speeding... He was buckled up...
BUT
His registration had expired and the little sticker on his license plate tipped the cop off.
It expired the end of December.  4 months ago!!
He didn't even notice.
I didn't even notice.
The cop noticed.

The cop threatened to impound the car and gave Wayne a ticket and a summons to appear in court about this matter.

We weren't trying to get away with anything.  We just forgot to register our car.  The registration never showed up-- probably lost in the great mail forwarding debacle when Monson and Lexi moved out the fall of 2018. 
 Life gets busy.

Wayne was embarrassed.  Then he was mad at the cop for her attitude and tone.  Then he thought, "Oh, well.  Stuff happens. This is no big deal. I'm going to have a great day."

And he did.

He managed his thoughts and his day got significantly better.

Life can be so good.
