on the way to a dessert mango lassi after venetian moon, i get pulled right by the train. the officer walks up to the passenger side and knocks on my inspection sticker. i knew it was expired due to the registration debacle last month, but i “haven’t” had time. it’ll have to wait until next weekend. as he is looking in the car, he mentions how he already forgot about the inspection and asked about the patches. i told him the patches were from places i’ve been to. honestly, he was cool. cops get a bad rap (though some are justified), but he was cool. when we pulled up to maya, it turned out my 4 mango lassi order didn’t get put in.
after a 10-minute wait, we were on our way back home drinking mango lassi, hoping not to get pulled again.
