I Blame It All on the Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I may have earned myself a speeding fine - but only because I was listening to the Californation CD. The girls and I were on our way to meet some ILPer's (for the uninitiated it's a photography forum). We live an hours drive from where we live so off we left. The first part of the trip it was the Beatles - I explained to Mary-Ella how the were one of the first superbands and tried to imprint on her little mind the magnitude their tunes have had on the world of music. After a while I decided it was time for a change in tempo and if a musical education is important then it's not complete without one of my all time favs- Californication. There are so many awesome tracks and I was grooving away - it was a 100km zone and I realised that I was doing 112kms and I know the police often have speed cameras in the area. I eased back on the accelerator and went back to singing. Next thing I know I've driven past the camera and I just my speedo only to discover it had crept back to 112kms again!!!!

It will be at least three weeks before I know for sure if I got a ticket. You do see why the Red Hot Chilli's are at fault don't you?

Just after that Mary-Ella reads a sign that says "Choose your speed. Choose your consequences." She struggled with consequences and wanted to know what it meant and that conversation is a whole other story...

I thought I would leave you with one of my all time favorite songs - if I had to write a top ten list this would be on it - I would have to think hard about the other 9 but this would be there.....
