37. Lazy cops.

They could have at least taken the trouble to taze someone while they were there.

Geesh.... what is the world coming to?

************

Quite a few years ago I had to bail on a 21 yr old Honda Accord that caught fire on the way home from getting the fuel pump replaced. Huge intersection. I was shaky for a week. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Car had become a money pit and I didn't have enough to pay for a different car. Took a lot of crap from everyone for carrying comprehensive on that thing all those years..... but it paid off.

Glad you are safe and hope the shaky is gone by morning.
