For 11 years of driving in Canada I've got my very first speeding ticket. No Congratulations please!LOL
Last month, on my way to work I was caught by the police for speeding. I was in a hurry at that time because I didn't want to be late at work. I was concentrating with my driving when suddenly a police waving at me and wanted me to pull over. I pulled over and he told me I was speeding 20 km/h. The min. speed is 50km. and I was driving 70km. I didn't see my odometer at that time so I have no idea if he was telling me the truth. He told me I was caught by a laser and not the radar. I didn't have my bag with me where my my driver's licence was. I left it at home. He asked me if my license is suspended. "I said No". I won't give you a ticket for that he said". Anyways I showed him my ownership and insurance card. He gave me a ticket for speeding with the amount of 95.00 dollars.
If you look at the demerit point that's 3 points for my license. In Ontario demerit points remain in driving record for 2 years from the date of the offence occurred. I coudn't accept it so I have chosen to go to court. I made an appointment to appeal. I just received the schedule for trial on July the 4th . However I can go for earlier resolution process which they have scheduled next month. No appointment is necessary so I decided to go next month.
Today my husband got a ticket. He was caught for speeding @ 70 km/hr. but the police didn't give him a ticket. He got a ticket for failed to surrender the insurance card. Apparently he showed the police the old card. He won't be charge though, if he will go to the office and show them the recent card. No charge for speeding. It's unfair eh!
What about you? Do you have any speeding experience?

Agring & the Easter Bunny
This story is just for fun. I know for a fact that it's not real. It's all about Jesus Christ, his birth and resurrection!
The big Easter egg hunt was about to begin. Agring and Abby were determined to find the golden eggs. Two were hidden somewhere in the park along with lots of other Easter eggs painted all sorts of colors. Prizes were awarded for each egg recovered, but the grand prize went to the finders of the two golden eggs. They would get a free pass to the neighborhood pool for the whole summer.
As the bell rang to start the hunt, scores of kids from all over the community charged into the park searching under rocks, behind trees and under picnic tables. Agring and Abby were checking the tall grass next to the creek when their friend, Brad, called out from across the park, "I found one of the golden eggs inside this hollow log!"
Frustrated, Agring and Abby plopped down in the grass. As Abby hit the ground, they heard a yelp. "What was that?" Abby asked. "I don't know," Agring said. A small voice came up from the grass behind them. "It's me, you silly people. Didn't you see me lying here in the sun?
Agring and Abby look around, surprised. There, right before them in the grass was a small, white rabbit. "Who are you," Agring asked slowly, eyes wide.
It's him!"
Don't you know a rabbit when you see one?"
"But, but . . . Rabbits can't talk!" Abby said, astonished.
"Well, I'm no ordinary rabbit. I'm the Easter Bunny! I heard you talking about the golden egg, and I can help you find it if you like. But you will have to share the prize."
"That's okay with me," Agring said. "Me too," Abby eagerly agreed.
The white rabbit seemed to smile and then, suddenly, took off across the grass like a rocket! Agring and Abby ran as fast as they could to keep up with him. For quite some time the tiny, snow white critter sprinted from tree to tree, sniffed under rocks and leaves and, finally, abruptly stopped at a trash can. "It's in there," the Easter Bunny said, confidently, nose wiggling with excitement. Sure enough, Agring looked inside and there it was! The second golden egg! It was in the trash can, wrapped in plain brown paper.
Agring took it out and unwrapped it carefully. "Wow, I'll bet no one ever would have looked in here," Abby said, taking the egg and holding it up in the air. "Hey everyone, we found the golden egg!" Abby shouted with glee.
"How did you find the egg so quickly?" one of the grown-ups supervising the hunt asked. "That egg was very well hidden!"
"Our friend over there," Agring said turning to point to the helpful hare. "That rabbit. He helped!"
"Who? What do you mean? I don't see anything," the adult said, puzzled. "What rabbit? There's nothing there!"
Agring and Abby grinned broadly as they watched the Easter Bunny disappear back into the tall grass by the creek. They could see him, even if the grown-ups could not. "Thanks Easter Bunny," Agring and Abby whispered to each other, smiling.
It's him!
Happy Easter!

Find The 30 Books In The Bible
There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu. Keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the book in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, the books are all right there in plain view hidden from sight. Those able to find all of them will hear lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind that punctuation and spacers in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in the paragraph waiting to be found.
Enjoy!
