What I did was illegal. We should have bought the car, but left it with the previous owner and came back home and gotten temporary plates, then gone back to pick up the car after we had the temporary plates to put on it.

Since the car was 2 hours away, this was not a feasible scenario. And we thought the car had plates, because it did in the pictures. (Every other time I've ever bought a used car, we drove home with the previous plates on it.)

We were admittedly pretty dumb about it.

I'm just not sure the best way to talk about it at the hearing.

Well I'd avoid talking about knowing it was illegal and just stick with "huh? how do people get cars home then?"

didn't we dig up some NH laws when we all talked about this before? I think on title, there is something written about it on the back. or we found a website at NH DMV. find that stuff and print it out.

Advice please!

I'm going to a hearing tomorrow. I'm contesting tickets I got when we bought the teen's car, and drove it home without registration. The car was towed, and plus the two tickets (unregistered vehicle and for misuse of plates) the fees were $500.

I didn't even know I was breaking the law, because I had the bill of sale. I'm hoping the fees will be reduced, at the very least.

Anyone done this? Suggestions about what to say?

As long as you bring the registration papers with you, the judge will probably dismiss it. If the d.a. or clerk's office doesn't dismiss it first.

Just been offered a second hand PA for the pub:

"The p.a. system consists of a Yamaha EMX 620 200watt powered mixer amplifier which has 4 microphone inputs with high and low impedence inputs plus 2 instrument channels with 2 inputs on each. All channels have treble, bass and volume controls plus monitor and effects. The amp also has a 7 band graphic EQ and tape in and out facilities.

The speakers are Peavey Pro 12,s with tripod stands."

Any good? I'm a complete novice at these things.

Get it installed and I will come sing for your pub crew.

I don't think it's a matter of "us" allowing big business to poison us, but our governments allowing it. Despite all of the evidence to support the dangers of these contaminents, they are still in bed with many of the larger corporations that exist in our countries. Big business is big government.

Big business has too much power. Every week, headlines reveal some scandal involving politicians, lobbyists, corporate cash, and allegations of bribes. CEOs get face time with senators, cabinet secretaries, and presidents. Lawmakers and bureaucrats take laps through the revolving door between government and corporate lobbying. Whatever goes on behind closed doors between the CEOs and the senators can't be good or the doors would not be closed.

Just what is big business doing with all this influence? There are many assumptions about big business's agenda. "When corporations lobby governments, their usual goal is to avoid regulation."

I found it alarming that in Europe, most of the contaminants the US allows into our food chain and into our air, water and soil are strictly banned - also for very good reason. Why are we allowing big business to poison us?

Maybe a little late to weigh in and no reason this should influence your decision, but I was teaching very similar classes at a community art school that was accredited by a local community college. While there I became friends with another instructor who was teaching classical drawing. He hung in there longer than I and now he's teaching at Pratt in NY. I guess I'm trying to say that you never know where these opportunities will lead and if you decide not to pursue the edu track you can always eject when appropriate. Good luck with your decision!

I have a friend who is very high energy, and never says no to any project... so she gets lots of interesting things!! I wish I had her energy.

But, yeah, I'm thinking this is not the time to say no to something that may lead to something else... plus it puts a little food on the table.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts & ideas! I also like the idea of making the most of being in the city... scheduling meetings and such.
