AAARRGGGHHHH!!!! He got me!

He got me fair and square, too.  I ran a red light.  Not on purpose!  On my way to pick up Twitch from school I was stopped at a traffic light, the first vehicle in line in the right lane.  The left turn lane got a green arrow, and I started across the intersection.  I realized about half way through the intersection what I was doing, and by then it was too late.  And there was a police cruiser within sight.  Sigh.  The guys were very nice, though.  They did give me a citation, but only cited me for careless driving, a city ordinance.  They could have charged me with disreguarding a traffic signal, which is a state law and puts 4 points on the driver's license.  The city ordinance puts no points on my license, but carries a fine of $130.  I think I got off pretty easy, actually, and am quite thankful for it.  

And right now I just want to stay home.  I feel like a damned fool.
