crash course

Is is possible that we are going to learn all the hard lessons in less than six months of living here?

Car accident, car broken down, stitches at the hospital, and on and on.

I didn't have this many issues in five years in the US.

This conspicuous letter arrived today, and while this wasn't exactly what I wanted to find in the mailbox, I think I prefer this over the humiliating side-of-road encounter with the blue lights.

The letter just tells us that we were speeding on Friday night at 9:30 - going 69km in a 50km zone.  What it does not say is how much this is going to cost!
