A little more information about the ticket
It turns out that Renee's premiums will not go up, but there is a $200-$300 one-time surcharge if I am found guilty of the traffic violation. On the "I can prove that I could have been in the curb lane" front, I can't prove that I wasn't in the middle lane. I could theoretically have swerved into the curb lane, then straightened out when I saw the other car (or heard its horn). In fact, I can't 100% swear that that didn't happen. I think I have to plead guilty, and take my lumps.

So that's kind of depressing.

I did come down on the side of not shaving and not trimming my beard. I hope that doesn't result in something worse, but I can make it look essentially as neat by combing and shaping it, so I'm hoping it will pass. I really don't want to change it -- I like it. (Pictures to follow one of these days. Then you can decide for yourselves... :-)

It's getting late here for someone who has to be at an unknown place at 1:00pm, so I'm going to sign out. Next entry will be what happened when I went to court (or about something totally unrelated...)
