Late Christmas gift
Yesterday, while cruising down a 2 lane country road in Marion County, in the distance, I see a County Sheriffs deputy in the road waving me over. He's says I was doing 58 in a 35 and I acted shocked. He went to write up the ticket and there I sit trying to figure out how much the insurance company is going to ding me for this.
When he returns, he asks about the year of the 'vette and tells me how good it looked. Then, he makes me an offer. If I promise not to speed down this particular raod anymore, he will just give me a warning. I agreed and thanked him a couple of times and was on my way with a grin.

WOW!!! You buy a lottery ticket on the way home too??
So, are you gonna be cool and do as he says in the future? 'Cause you know the next time he see's a Vette like yours and it's zipping along too quickly, he's gonna throw the book at that guy!!
You should have thanked him more than TWICE!!

You should have spun your wheels and blew gravel all over the front of his patrol car.
Just kidding. I have seen too many movies.
Law Enforcement Officers are people too. I know it sounds stupid, but most of them aren't out to "get" everybody. There are a few that are though.
Think what our country would be like without them. I am thankful for the police and respect their service to the community and to this country.
Congrats on the warning
