So sometimes you just have to dance. And I do. Any and everywhere. My car included. So when I got pulled over recently by a police car with two of Potsdam’s Finest, I didn’t expect the following encounter to happen. 

    Basically I had just turned right from a red light when it had turned green and I knew I had obeyed the traffic laws, but when I was pulled over, I calmly rolled down my window and waited for the officer to approach my window. When he did, he asked me if I knew why he was pulling me over. I stated that I did not as I had just made a turn at the red light and didn’t think I did anything wrong. He smiled and said, “actually my partner and I were just noticing your dance moves and were wondering whether that was actually “The Pony” you were doing there?” I laughed and replied “indeed it was. Is that against the law? I do a pretty mean pony!!” He said, “No Ma’am, we just had a bet going & you just made my day. Keep up those sweet dance moves and drive safely.” I ended the conversation with “you can count on it”. And smiled fiercely at him before driving away. 

    Now my point of this story is not that I got pulled over unnecessarily and left with no further action after that encounter, but if this is the way the local police are trying to improve the relations with the public, I’ll take it, because it truly made my day and I’ve shared this story with so many people and not one person has thought it was a negative thing in the end. 

   I know there are people who will always have a mistrust of law enforcement but after a day like yesterday when two D.C. police officers intentionally put themselves in harms way to stop an armed madman from shooting several congressmen on an open baseball field, I think there is a need to share as many good stories as possible. 

   And that’s why I started this blog in the first place. I was tired of reading about all the negative stuff out there and just wanted to put my little slice of “good” out in to the world. So that’s what it’s all about…”just the good stuff”. 

    Thanks officers. You made this gal’s day. I’ll keep up my sweet moves & you can bet I’ll be car dancing with all I have in me. I’m just that GOOD.
