Well....want to see what a $280 coral looks like? It looks like this....
Ok here's the story. A person in my LRC (Local Reef Club) had some Orange Montipora Capicornus for sale, and she didn't live but 25-35 minutes away from me so I made the drive to pick it up. I pick up the coral and I take the BACK ROADS to get home. So I am driving down the road, no one in front, no one behind. The road is black toped, so it's nice and smooth. Then I notice that the bag is leaking alittle. So I speed up, being only 15-20 minutes away from my house. The speed limit is 55 on this particular road. And guess who is hiding out in the middle of NO WHERE....that's right....a cop. Not just any cop, a STATE TROOPER. So needless to say, I got a ticket. Guess how fast I was going? 81 MPH (that's what he clocked me at, I think i was doing 90 just a few miles back). So I get a speeding ticket for 26 miles over the posted speed limit. $260 thank you very much! I am lucky he didn't cuff me because Louisiana law says that if the driver of a motor vehicle excedes the speedlimit by 25 MPH, that is grounds for an arrest.
The coral only cost me $20, but after trying to save it (the bag was leaking), I get slamed with $260 debit.....That's a whole damn pay check for a collage kid (in the summer time).
Just had to vent....
