Nice work by the LebdaDoodle! No word on whether there was any of that "Marie Provost" action by the precious little beast, was there?

Jim, my elderly mother just rewrote her life insurance and ... let's just say that the numbers are impressive.

Thanks to your essay (which sings high praise for such a wonderful, altruistic, selfless human being), to thank the ol' gal, I bought her an ATV.

No helmet and no instruction, mind you. Just an ATV.

All I need now is a healthy dose of patience ...

Used to be a victim now you're not the only one.

Douggie Lebda did not

Look his best

The day the cops came upon his ATV mess

On that Polk County land kinda Sorta Southwest

He'd been lyin' there under that wreck

The neighbors said they never heard a squeak

While hungry eyes that could not speak

Said even little doggies have got to eat

He was a winner

That became his doggie's dinner

He never meant that much to me

Woah, poor Douggie!

“Not having a proper speedometer”

Which means he tried to use “my speedometer isn’t working” as an excuse (because how’s the cop going to know unless he tells them - they don’t check) and instead got an equipment violation tacked on. Sounds like a real brain trust.

( pssst... Just a little word, Ms Sampson, I'd work on that symbol there, because maybe I'm just a gutter mind -- which of course I am --- it might easily be misinterpreted as representing something OTHER than your intention... funny tho' it izzz... 😆)
