Speed Racer

Even though we had a great weekend, a small damper was put on our trip home when I got pulled over on our way out of Carlinville. Ooops!!! I was really just keeping up with the car in front of me when a state trooper, coming from the other way (mind you), zapped both of us. I thought I had gotten off scott free because the trooper passed me by as I pulled over, but that was not the case. As I came up the road, he flagged me down, as well, to pull over. Hmmm, can we say trying to meet your quota at the ending of the month by killing two birds with one stone??? Anyway, I have not had a ticket in probably 6 years (as I so happened to mention to Sean Connolly this weekend, which probably jinxed me) so, the situation did not make me that angry; more frustrating than anything because it took forever. It was humorous, really.....only because Matt had driven into town along the same road going at least 10 miles an hour faster than I was (he wrote me up for 69 in a 55, but I honestly don't think I was going more than 65). Plus, it just meant that I had to drive slower the rest of the way home! UGH!!!! Oh well, I was about due!
