Posthuman Blues

I got a ticket for running a red light while driving home from work today. It was pretty iffy, and the police officer seemed reluctant to write me up. Actually, I don't think he was going to until he went back to his squad car and talked on the radio; evidently the city of Overland Park, Kansas is hard up for cash. What a wonderful way to end the day. At least he wasn't an asshole. No tough-guy routine like you get with some cops.

On a more positive note, the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain (aka the "Horse Fountain") has been turned back on for spring and summer. You can undoubtedly find a picture of it here.
