Pumpkin carving

The Peas and I bought ourselves some pumpkins and spent a couple hours carving them. Theirs came out great and look really cool with lights inside. Mine is so-so and needs more work. We had a gorgeous day for sitting out on the deck and sawing away. Let me add that I will never, ever try to carve or cut a pumpkin with a knife again. I invested less than $6 in a keyhole saw from Home Depot and it was totally worth it — like a hot knife through butter!

When I was taking the Peas home, a cruiser came flying up behind me on Broadway. He was right on my bumper, maybe six feet away from the back of my car. No lights, no sirens, and I'm doing maybe 35 mph. If I had hit my brakes, he would have been in the back seat.

Anyway, I figured he needed to get around me, so as soon as I got around a bend in the road, I pulled over to the right, and didn't the sob pull into a driveway just behind where I pulled over. Typical a*hole cop, thinking he IS the law instead of realizing he is there to enforce the law - and OBEY it as well. If anyone drove up behind him like that, you can be sure they would have been ticketed, if not arrested.

Lucky for me the Peas were with me, because had I been alone, I would have turned around and pulled into that driveway to rip him a new one. I probably would have gotten my ass kicked.
