Seeing Red All Over

Funny thing happened on the way to the stream the other day! Took the long way via work, yes I know put a full week in to boot. Then didn't fish till Sunday morning, no fish. Then off to a grand-child's party, getting distracted again. So as I was driving I entered a school zone, school is closed and will resume next week for the year. On the side of the road was a van with strobe lights merrily flashing away and giving out speeding tickets like food pellets at the hatchery. Turns out the locals are short on cash and have turned to robbing passing motorist for small infractions like exceeding the speed limit in a school zone while school is closed. I understand they have resorted to such tactics since most are now stopping for the red light cameras and they have succeeded in taxing the death out of everything imaginable. Old Art has come to the realization that the whole world is completely out of kilter and there is no solution. So what's the answer? Maybe take a more direct route to the stream and avoid schools, people, other cars, politicians and other IED's and WMD's! It's a sad thing indeed!
