It's that special time of year!

It's that special time of year again. The birds are flying back up north for the summer. The trees and flowers are blooming once more. People are grilling steaks and burgers. It's also time to break out that special something that will attract attention. It's that eight-letter word that begins with s. No, I'm not talking swimsuit season, but rather seatbelt season. This is when traffic cops with nothing else better to do (like catch dangerous criminals) will try to catch you for not wearing your seatbelt.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous for any cop armed with a gun, a badge, and a C-average in high school to have the authority to give you a $65 ticket. It's simply another poor excuse for the government to take our hard-earned money, especially in today's tough economic times. So as Memorial Day comes around, I encourage all you lovely ladies to wear your revealing bikinis and buckle up. It's the law!
