Before Danica Patrick..

I've been breaking speed records long before this Miss Patrick was outta diapers. My Dad always said I drove too fast or I shoulda been a racecar driver. And maybe I've missed my chance because I do love speed. Do ya see where this is going?? Dad, you can stop rolling your eyes NOW!! LOL Yes, lead foot has come through again!

I was always wondering why when I drove south I never saw any patrol cars on the hwys I travel. Well... apparently it's because they travel these hwys early on weekdays catching those commuters.. Hmmmm.. So I had a little visit with one of Minnesota's finest on Monday morning! I just don't see how they can make the speed limit 55 on a road that is flat, straight, and has little traffic on it for 150 miles! C'mon! Ok .. yes.. you're right, it's not up to me!! And laws are there for a reason ..yeah, yeah, I know!

Fortunately, he was feeling generous, I was wearing scrubs, and he made some comment about getting to my hospital shift on time (which I just nodded and agreed on) and he gave me a lighter fine! Yes, yet another thing to be thankful for this week.

Think I'd better hop on Santa's lap and ask for a radar/laser detector. Yes, slowing down is also an option.
