I *so* need phone-posting. This morning I was checked out by a cop, he probably ran my (rental) plates, because I was being suspicious.

I had to teach about 100 mins drive away from Halifax, so at 4:30 am I was up, and at 5:10 I was at the office picking up shit I needed. So I was parked in the wrong direction on Halifax's busiest street (which was at the time deserted), in front of the bank and my office, wrestling a huge, heavy laptop case (nine laptops and gear) into the trunk. A cop van stopped 50m away and just sat at a light until I was done. Then they drove past, and turned around and came up behind me, then turned again. Too funny.

Anyway, I was driving to Middleton when I realized what had likely happened -- I wasn't very awake. So a phone post would have been fun to do at that point.

Well, yeah they were watching you, like I'd watch you because you probably looked like you were robbing the place. I don't know why they didn't arrest you on suspicion or something.

Crazy man, loading car full of laptops, parked on wrong-side of the road. How wierd does it look?

pulled over

hahaha... yeah, thats happened to me, except he actually 'pulled me over'. I hadn't even left the parking spot yet.

Police Officer: What are you doing?
Me: (points to completely FROZEN windshield) waiting for the windshield to defrost.
PO: License and registration please?
Me: sure, whats up?
PO: just a routine traffic check
Me: ok (hands him info)

He thought the car was stolen, and wanted to make sure we were legit. While we were waiting, he even had a paddiwagon pull up!
