I have to take the back routes to my home now because about a month ago I hit a deer. The encounter took out my left front headlight, my left rearview mirror, and a medium-sized doe. So, now I’m targeted by the Inver Grove Heights police whenever I drive down my usual route on Concord Blvd. I’ve been stopped twice now for equiptment violation. I’ve wanted to go to the junk yard and find parts, but it’s been rainy lately so I’ve been forced to avoid the authority rather than drive by, five miles over the limit, with confidence. I should be thankful that the neighborhood police have little better to do, but I am not presently finacially willing to pay for their excitement and their pastries.
