ok, here's a quick splaination of what's up... i'm on probation for possession of weedz, up until this point in time i was under the impression my probation was going smoothly, although i'm on probation i still smoke mad weed and i have yet to piss and it's been nearly a year.
so, tonight i was hanging out with some buddies in a town about half an hour from my place. it was 1:30, so i took one of my buddies home and pulled out of his driveway to head home. now, i have a burned out tail light, i know about it, but i haven't had a day off of work since i found out about it, so it will get handled on Monday. the officer driving the opposite direction didn't know any of that, though, beyond that the light was burned out, and pulled around right in front of my friend's house. i was far enough away by that point in time to turn down a side street and lose them. so i started to take a different route back home and my friend called me. he'd seen the cops stop and turn around and figured they were after me. i told him they clearly were and i was still trying to duck 'em, then i saw the car in my rear view mirror about 100 yards back. i got off the phone with my buddy, pulled into a closed gas station (i was driving on a fairly busy road, knew i was getting pulled over, and figured that was safer. the officer agreed and didn't find it sketchy), and they hit the lights. i had about a gram of bud and had been smoking blunts for a few hours, but i didn't have any pieces, so hiding the bud was pretty easy. for anyone with an 01 Jeep Cherokee, you can pop the vents right next to the front doors out of place pretty easy and hide a bunch of stuff back there. so, he comes up, gets my paperwork and the waiting game began. now, i've been pulled over when i was on probation before and i've always been worried something might come up or there might be some kind of problem, but it's never happened, so i figured i was probably ok. the officer came back, gave me my ID and paperwork, and we had a brief discussion about the tail light. then he said, "mind if i ask you a few questions?" i said that was ok and he asked if i've ever had problems with drugs. i replied, "yes, i'm on probation for possession of marijuana."
"did you know there's a warrant out for your arrest?"
it turns out i missed a court date, likely because the papers were mailed to the wrong address (i've moved three times over the past three years and NMU can't seem to keep a current address), and there's a warrant out for my arrest for contempt of court and violating my probation. well, luckily for me, the pick-up zone is restricted to the UP and not all of Michigan. since i live in the LP, i can't be arrested on that warrant here. i didn't even get a fix-it ticket, just instructions on who to call on Monday to figure this bullshit out.
I'M STOKED ON NOT GOING TO JAIL TONIGHT!
Congrats on the nipples Sarah!
As for my stoke, I just had a sweet day skiing. I got up there and took a few untracked powder runs, then met up with a few friends. I was able to ski a few hairy lines off the lifts before lunch and was super happy with how much better my skiing has gotten in a week. After lunch I let one of my friends pop the cherry on a cliff I cleared out a couple years ago that nobody's hit yet. I was going to hit it earlier this year, but screwed my knee when we were about two feet short of what I wanted in the landing. Of course it snowed non-stop immediately afterward. Anyways. After that we hiked the ridge and skied a little chute by the north boundary, then took a traverse further out. I got first tracks down a fun little straightline and almost got destroyed by my slough, then had bottomless knee deep snow for the rest of my run. The unstoked thread recounts the remainder of my day.
