Hunting......for fish?

Karl and I went hunting last weekend but actually ended up fishing more than hunting. We went up Thursday and got camp all set up with his friend Brad and his family and Brad's brother Dallas and his family. The hunt didn't actually open until Saturday so we had a couple days to just hang out. Since we were hunting and camping near Strawberry where his dad keeps his boat we decided to go fishing on Friday. The fishing wasn't too great but I ended up catching the most fish. :) Saturday morning I hung out at camp with the wives and kids while all the guys went hunting. They came back late in the afternoon with nothing. Karl and I went back out until it got dark but didn't even see anything. Well, we did see some elk and a really huge beaver but that's about it. The next day Karl's dad had to take his boat off the lake for winter so we did some more fishing before we took it off the water. Karl caught a pretty big fish, 21.5 inches but couldn't keep it because the slot limit is over 22 inches or under 15 inches. Of course I didn't get a picture of the big fish, but I got a picture of every single other fish that we caught. I was a total slacker on pictures this trip. Of the few pictures I did take none of them are really great.
Karl is pretty annoyed he didn't get a deer. He only had that one day to hunt since he had to come home and get ready to leave for work in Colorado. He really wanted to go on the muzzle loader hunt but he was working the entire time that hunt was open.

The Saga Continues.....

Today was my pretrial for my lame ticket. I showed up to court with all my evidence which included photos and a certain section from Utah Code that is VERY interesting. Utah Code Section 41-6a-1002(2) states: when traffic control signals are not in place or not in operation, the operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way by slowing down or stopping if necessary: (i) to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling
Ha! Guess what? Yep, the pedestrian wasn't on my half of the roadway, and it says to slow down or stop if necessary, but stopping is not required! So, not only was it completely impossible for me to see the pedestrian, (see earlier posts if you're lost) the effing law says I don't have to stop or even slow down unless the freakin' pedestrian is on my side of the road. Basically the ticket is bogus. There is not a law that would prove I was in the wrong. Anywho, I went to my pretrial which consisted of waiting around in court watching drug addicts and alcoholics trying to get out of their tickets, which some of them did! Finally, the prosecuter comes and gets me and takes me into his office. His job is to try and solve the matter without having to take it to trial. I show him everything, and he looks up the Code and says he's confused by what "when traffic control signals are not in place or not in operation" means. WTF?! You're a city prosecuter and you don't understand the law?! Are you effing kidding me! Seriously, is that sentence that hard to understand? You can't make that sentence anymore clear. (fyi - there are no traffic controls at that crosswalk, which is visibly clear in the photos I showed him) Then dipshit says he can reduce the ticket to an equipment violation which is equivalent to a broken tail light, it's $40. No thanks, I'll go to trial. After all the time and brain damage I've been through with this you think I'm gonna drop it and take an equipment violation! No way, especially now that I have the effing law that proves the ticket was completely unjustified. If anyone wants to come to my official full blown trial it is November 25 at 9:00 a.m. in North Salt Lake City building. On a side note: I was at the capitol today and there were some highway patrolmen there and my coworker decided to ask them about my situation. Guess what they said? Big suprise, they would have only been able to give the ticket if the pedestrian was in my half of the road. If I lose this never ending ridiculous battle I may go postal on their asses.

Annamaria, this is for you!
