I have very little to say about North Carolina. While I was driving to Scott Hill, I was
pulled over by the police not once but twice. I was barely over the speed limit one of the
times (60 in a 55). One cop who pulled me over suggested that I should let him search my car.
I had nothing to hide, I will assure you, but he had NO CAUSE whatsoever! When I informed
him of that, he informed my that I would be arrested (for speeding... 75 mph on the interstate)
if I did not comply. Being arrested while on vacation would suck, I think, so I agreed to
allow this violation of my civil rights.
While he searched every nook and cranny in my car, I stole his pen. I
then sent a check to the state to pay for my ticket. Wouldn't you know it, the Jesse Helms
State does not accept checks to pay for traffic violations. They sent a letter to Illinois
suspending my license. Did I mention that I once had a girlfriend from NC. When I found out
that she was living with her HUSBAND, I broke up with her. She didn't like this, so she came
to pound on my front door. I ignored her. The telephone was ringing. The miracle of cell
phone technology put her on the telephone while she was knocking on my door. How did she
dial the phone while she was knocking anyway???
