Whooooooooooooooooosh
So I'm on my way home Saturday afternoon ..... on the 407.... I've been really trying not to use that highway.... because of the exorbitant cost....... and I REALLY don't like using it on a Saturday..... but because there was an accident on the QE ( stupid highway anyway ) ... Abby and I went as far as Mississauga on the 403, and then took the 407 for the last 20 kms......
We were cruising along at 119..... I drive 119 because I have to.
At various times in the past, I've been known to exceed that number..... albeit in very small increments.....
and EVERY TIME..... I got a certificate of appreciation from a nice officer....
anyway... Abby and I are floating along, minding our own business..... she, reading a book.... 
and me? well I was trying to sneak the CD player on... to play MY music in MY car..... hoping against hope that she'll be so enraptured in her book she won't notice I've put Gaither Vocal Band back on.... but sigh... she always noticed... and clicked it off...!!
and me? well I was trying to sneak the CD player on... to play MY music in MY car..... hoping against hope that she'll be so enraptured in her book she won't notice I've put Gaither Vocal Band back on.... but sigh... she always noticed... and clicked it off...!! I must have just clicked my music on... when I took that picture... can you SEE the glare out of the corner??!
anyway, after a little bit.... this black BLUR of an SUV blew past me in the right lane like I was standing still....
I mean, he was FLYING....he made my 119 kms look like a walk in the park...
and true to my newly old self... I muttered those predicatble words...
WHERE'S the cops when you need em.... they're waiting for ME and off in some DONUT shop when guys like THIS go flying past..... ( ok, SOMEbody's bitter !)
anyway.... around the next corner.... I found OUT where they were....
they were waiting at a weigh scale station near Milton....
and by the time I got to him, Mr copper was about to award another certificate of appreciation!!!!
whoo ahh..... finally somebody ELSE got an award instead of me!

usually I am the one sitting in front of the cop car...in fact, it was last year at this time I paid $150.00 for whoooooooshing 12miles over the speed limit...here in our quiet little town...it was all attributed to wedding stress!!
hope you are well.
You've told us pieces of information:
1) Abby can SPEED read.
2) You have quite a rapport with the police.
3) You only know two speeds: Fast & We're There!
4) You really must be of the octopus family, to be able to drive, while taking a picture of Abby AND putting a cd in to play.
...and what do you mean that you're OLD...you're not THAT old!!!
First, agree with Goldwings-- also, congrats for enjoying one of those RARE moments when you get to witness swift justice before your very eyes!!! Once, ONLY once, mind you, I saw some jerk drive by on the shoulder going past all of us suckers sitting in a traffic jam, only to pass him later as he received HIS own certificate of appreciation. Joy.
That's great that you can multi-task!!!!! ;)
Why doesn't Abby like the Gaithers?Do you need me to set her straight? Does she have email? If you send her e-mail addy to my bro...okay never mind!!! :)
