sometimes calling the police is a fun thing

[threeplusfire]

They've recently widened Anderson Mill Road to four lanes, and connected it from Parmer to 183, resulting in a large influx of traffic. This wouldn't bother me except for the fact there these people drive 45 through the school zones. There is an elementary school and a middle school right on the road about halfway between the highways, in the middle of the neighborhood. It pisses me off to see all those kids walking home, and people blitzing through there without caring.

So today, I used my cell phone. I called Williamson County about it, and not ten minutes later I saw at least two police cars, and one was already pulling someone over. Hah! Beware my powers of righteous indignation and my cellphone of doom +2!

This is me waving all the people getting tickets right now. Fines are double in a school zone motherfucker.

Here's +2 antenna & cell range for your fantastic cellphone of doom. I wish my county dept. was half as responsive.

Woo. I was amazed myself. Now I'm hoping they do some sweeps through there during the week.

Sometimes, it is really evil fun being good.

You rock quite hard, my friend. I give you bonus points for your care. I wish someone would do that for Dean Keaton or Red River, and what with hospitals and apartments and academic buildings and lots of people around... I fear for my live each time I cross Dean Keaton, and I doubt a cup of coffee is worth my life.

Come on now, running across Dean Keaton is fun! That's what going to college here is all about man, learning to take your life in your hands every time you come near a street.

But yeah, people drive like morons and it makes me crazy. I'm just glad I could do a little something.

Look out world! Amanda's got a cell phone and she's pissed. ;)

Good job. People who speed through school zones piss me off too.

Hahaha, beware!

Speeding through school zones is just wrong. There's no way around that. Doing 45 in a 20mph school zone? That's one fat ticket.

You rock. :-)

Thank you. I'm trying to temper my evil glee by reminding myself it was a serious thing. But I am so glad I did it.
