Gatineau receives hundreds of tips about out-of-province plates

FAST BACKWARDS BACK TO 1986…

REMEMBER THAT TRIP I MENTIONNED GOING TO MOUNT RUSHMORE, CRAZY HORSE, SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES, HOLLYWOOD, SAN DIEGO, TIJUANA MEXICO, GRAND CANYON, FOUR CORNERS, DENVER…. CHICAGO AND THEN BACK HOME…

MY WALK IN THE SNOW… ALTHOUGH IT WAS AUGUST OF 1986… FULL HEAT

MEANING OF LIFE STUFF… AT THE TIME… HAD NO INKLING OF HOW LONG THIS STUFF WOULD TAKE… DISMANTLING ALL WRONG LEARNED HABITS AND CREATING NEW ONE TO FIT THE MOMENT…

WELL DEAR READERS…

WTF HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH TICKETS IN QUEBEC…

TURNS OUT…

I HAD A SUPER DUPER TOP OF THE LINE RADAR DETECTOR INSTALLED IN MY CAR…

RIGHT IN DEAD CENTER OF BEVERLY HILLS ON RODEO DRIVE…

GATINEAU POLICE ENDED STOPPING ME A FEW MONTHS LATER…

THEY COULDN’T FIND IT, BUT TOLD ME TO RIP IT OUT IN FRONT OF THEM…

OTHERWISE…

THEY WOULD TOW THE CAR AWAY AND DISMANTLE IT…

GOT A TICKET TOO, AND OFF THEY WENT WITH THE RADAR DETECTOR…

SO… WHAT DID I DO…

STOPPED ABSOLUTELY ALL PURCHASES IN GATINEAU SINCE THEN…

AND

I SPENT A SHITLOAD OF MONEY IN GATINEAU OVER THE YEARS…

DRIED OFF TO A TRICKLE TO NOTHING…

WILL I EVER SPEND AGAIN IN GATINEAU…

LET ME FIGURE OUT WHEN I HIT THE MISSING MILLION DOLLAR NO SPENDING MARK…

THEN MAYBE MAYBE JUST A CHANCE IN HELL…

I’LL LET YOU KNOW IN 30 DAYS

FOR NOW…

MY WALLETS ARE WEARING CONDOMS
