Playing the Cop

Joyce has always said that I have a copy buried inside. Two recent cases-in-point.

(1) MTSU is  now a smoke-free campus. When I stopped by on a Friday afternoon to check my mail I saw a Campus Food Service employee brazenly standing outside the little shop on the ground floor of Peck smoking. I called CFS and reported him.

(2) Every single day I find myself seething at fellow drivers who never bother to even pretend to stop at stop signs or who turn right on red without a pause. (This pet peeve can be tracked back to an expensive ticket I was given back in Huntsville, AL days when I failed to legally stop--in a legal stop, I learned, the car rocks back on its axles.)

So, yes, I am a bit of a cop. A very liberal cop, but a cop nonetheless.
