Driving from Ottawa to Calgary
Posted by yoursinwriting in Articles on June 8th, 2004
In my mind, it was a bit excessive, but fair enough, to pull me over, even to give me a ticket. But in all my life, I’ve never heard of a cop not taking a km or two off the radar reading. To then add insult to injury by not letting me know how fast to drive was downright unsportsmanlike.

These women are sick of waiting for dad to show up, and either bed down with a friend of good breeding stock, or adopt a nice Chinese baby. In the former case, you have a love-child of a fashion, but the uncle/daddy line might get a bit blurred.
