I'm 35 and now have a record.

Yeap. I was arrested tonight in San Francisco. (And released.)

Here's the thing. As a moderate income earner I balance my bills...something I have to pay right now and other things I put off as long as I can...

And, well...apparently I put off registering my car a little too long. I've been sick all week and apparently my license is expired...I was going to take care of that tomorrow...

So I was arrested (fingerprints and pictures) and released this evening.

It was a little unnerving, but the policemen were cool. They didn't tow my car, at least.

Note to self: keep up with the registration kinda thing. And don't be arrested.
That's one to grow on.
