There's a First Time For Everything

Well, I guess knocking on wood doesn't work, or the table I knocked on was some kind of cheap laminate. I was talking with my younger sister Hannah on Saturday and the topic of speeding tickets came up. I proudly stated that I had never received a speeding ticket, or been pulled over in my driving life (knocking on the table of "supposed" wood, of course).
It was only natural then, that the very next day, I was pulled over for the first time on my way back to Utah on highway 6! I knew the day would come, but I wanted to make it to at least 30 before I broke my lucky streak. But there is a little bit of good news in that I only got a warning! Thanks to a generous and jokster-ish cop (whose jokes I didn't really get since I was so nervous), I avoided what would have been about a $400 ticket! (On a side note, I was so nervous that I unbuckled my seatbelt after I pulled over and then freaked out that I was going to get cited for it. Maybe next time I won't be so frenzied). It was a bit lame, though. I was going 70 in a 50 mph "construction zone" if you can call it that since the only thing present were a few cones and no workers or machines to be found. Oh well, the law is the law and I can't complain since I got a nice cop who didn't give me a ticket. Ok, so wish me luck as I try to make it to 30 without a speeding ticket, knock on wood........NOT!
