Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Can I be your best friend? LOL Humorous and fun story. Sounds like a evening for the ages. Something you will laugh about when you toddle down the Nursing Home halls in your walker. I saw one minor punctuation change needed. (Because life just likes to be a Bitch Nat's car broke. ) I believe you need a comma after the word Bitch.
Thanks for the chuckle. Good luck in the contest.

I am open to the offer of friendship. I have a small circle of close friends, and we have some fun. Thank you for reviewing. It was an interesting time.

I couldn't help but smile and shake my head as I read this nonfiction contest entry. Thank you for sharing it with us. Good luck with the contest.
I often find myself going over the 70-mile-hour speed limit. (I do understand, my car doesn't like going 70.)

It was a heck of a time.
Comment from LJbutterfly
You sound like the naughty girl who had all the fun. Speeding down the highway in a Ford F150 at 80 miles an hour sounds like an adventure by itself. But being stopped by a police officer and issued an expensive speeding ticket seemed to add to the adventure and didn't stop the fun you planned to have. This is a great humorous and entertaining story, and the picture gives the reader a visual. Best wishes in the contest.

This was a great nonfiction piece for the contest. I am a notoriously bad driver too, so I can relate. I am glad you weren't hurt or anything. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Well, the day excursion was a little pricey, but all and all, it sounds like a great time to me, and surely worth the sum. LOL. Thanks for sharing your fun and entertaining story.

I love the story and got a big chuckle out of it, especially enjoyed the conversation between you and the officer that was priceless. Even at $200 that was priceless. Patricia .

It was a very memorable event indeed.
Comment from Sallyo
Er... yes. That was funny. And I mean truly funny. I was reading while hiding my eyes (figuratively speaking). As one not-so-good driver to another...well! Good luck in the contest. This one should be a strong contender.

I am so honored that you liked the piece so much. It is going to be a future blog post and a new style of writing for me there. I have always had a hard time writing about myself but am learning to be better at it.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Your adventure turned into an expensive day out with the fine for speeding. At least the event was worth watching and you didn't get points on your license which is the case in Europe and in the UK, a fun and honest post, love Dolly x x x

I was lucky and I know it. In my mind he let us go because it was not your every day reason to get pulled over. Thank you so much for taking the time to review.

Hi, Mia. A lively and interesting piece.
If I had a criticism it is that the two events described are only loosely connected and the incidental one, the traffic stop, actually garners more of your attention than the 'main event.' The wrestling it seems is worthy of a single brief paragraph.
I guess what I mean is tht the story just doesn't work for me structurally. I think you should decide whether the wrestling or the drive is more important and focus on that while downplaying the other.

If I was not occupied talking about the upcoming event I would have stayed focused on my speed and might not have gotten the ticket. That in my mind is how the two events are related. Though I do understand what you are saying. Thank you for taking the time to review.
Comment from Esther Brown
Loved it! you have an excellent sense of the ridiculous and captured the episode perfectly. Especially the picture. My only thought is perhaps a comment after Bitch? Well done. Esther
