Fierceboy's blog post - Crime snowball

I just had to take time out of my tensely tight schedule of preparing for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival to go and pay a $750 cash bond (they wouldn't take credit) to get FG1 out of jail. She was arrested for driving with a suspended license. Irritatingly, her license is not in fact suspended and she hasn't had a ticket in eight years. We checked this on the Dept. of Revenue after bonding her out. The police told us to take this information with us to court next month and they'll be gracious enough to give some of this money back.

Tomorrow I have to go (because they closed before we got her out of jail tonight) and pay another $200 to get the car out of impound right before I jump on a plane to Detroit.

I don't really have the time to share what I feel about this situation as it's long, info-packed and ranty but I will conclude with this:

I'm in a bit of a cash bind for my trip now that I'm $900 lighter. Gonna have to hit a bank on the way out of town. At least I had the good foresight to invest in a handgun years ago. It's the investment that keeps on giving.
