Our trip started out oK. we were trying to to make it as far into new mexico as we could on day one. The baby was tired and so was I. We were driving through a small town that had a posted speed limit of 35mph. It was about 9pm and we still had about 1 more hour to go. As we were driving all of a sudden there was a siren and lights behind us. Yuk his bad luck strikes again.
He has horrible luck with getting pulled over for speeding. I call it bad luck because he has been pulled over right after pulling out of a drive way, once he got pulled over twice in an hour for the same fix it issue, and he has gotten pulled over for being a carpool lane even though the kids were in the back seat and then the cop mentioned something about the tint on the back windows (which is not illegal).
So he got pulled over. The sheriff came over and to his window and immediately asked for his drivers license. He pulled out his military ID first and then his drivers license. The Sheriff looked at him and then asked "do you know how fast you were going?"
"no sir I don't", he answered.
"you were going 37 in a 35."
WHAT! he stopped us for what! somehow I did not find this fair in the slightest. This would definitely not have happened in Cali.
The sheriff continued, "are you in the service?"
"Yes, sir. We are driving to our new duty station."
"I've always liked you service boys. I'm gonna let you off with a warning, you want to arrive there safely, watch your speed sonny."
Yeah like those 2 miles per hour are the difference between life and death. anyways so that was day one.
