I had a state trooper try to 'sneak' up behind this morning. I saw him all the way...Finally he got frustrated and passed me. If I was solely relying on a detector, I'd probably have a ticket now.
Oh, never , ever rely soley on a radar detector. But, of course we both know that. And there are some things you just can't defend against like the Trooper that sneeks up behind you at 140 MPH and when you check your mirror there he is! And you're cruising at 100. And he let's you go. It's almost kind of fun, like a cat and mouse game. We use our intelligence and skills and they use theirs. I've come out pretty good all in all. One thing I should mention (as if we don't all know it) is that when you're bombing around no man's land you are a lot more likely to get busted for minor infringements than in the suburbs, and if they get you at 47 over (are you reading this Dave?) then you're really dog poopy.

I think I'll walk tonight. G'Night.
