You could instead go through Santa Fe and stop and see me!

Anyway, good luck to you all summer, and I likewise appreciate your reports and pictures.

And bad luck on the ticket. Sometimes a cop just won't cut you any slack. However, I have the distinct advantage of being a 64 year old woman, with the gray hair to prove it. In recent years, any time I have been stopped I always get off with a nice warning. I think it's because I look like Mom, or possibly Grandma if the cop is young enough, and they're really not about to ticket either of those two. I suspect if I were stopped by a cop my age I wouldn't be so lucky. Or if stopped by one who hates mom or grandma.
