Arrested in Idaho

sorry to keep you all in the dark for so long, but nothing special's really been going on lately... up until this weekend, that is. I got my car out of the shop on friday night, just in time for a road trip to Olympia to see my sister. Well, they managed to fix one problem with my car, but gave me another one: the speedometer was broken. I was determined to make the trip anyway, and felt sure that I could manage my speed without indication. I was wrong. Just outside of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, I got pulled over for going 104 in a 65. I was promptly arrested for reckless driving. The cop said I could post bond for $300 and that I should be able to leave jail within a few hours. Turns out that just before I got there, their computers crashed and it would be a little longer. 12 hours in a holding cell later, I finally got to pay my way out. It was 1AM and I had no idea where I was or how to get to a hotel. Luckily, I called my sister and she was able to give me directions by looking on the internet. I got into a Motel 6 and got one of their last two rooms. To celebrate, I went to the bar next door and had a few beers. After hearing that I had just been released from jail, the bartender bought me a shot! The next day, I was afraid to go out and spend any money (I was extremely broke and didn't think I'd have enough to get my car out of the impound the next day) so I stayed in the hotel room all day and watched TV. Monday morning, I set out in search of a Western Union, since my sis was so kind as to send me some money for my little predicament. Unfortunately, the one I found was not open for several hours, so I decided to see if I could find another one. 4 hours later... still nothing. I had almost given up hope, but I caught a glimpse of a little yellow and black sign! I got the money, but after I called the tow company I realized that I was still $90 short, and that wasn't counting gas for the way home! My last hope was to give my roommate a call to see if I had recieved my PIN for my new sharecheck card. Thankfully, it had just arrived on Saturday. I activated my new card and I was home free. Needless to say, on the way home I got behind the slowest car I could find.
