I recently traveled to Fort Walton Beach Florida to see my new Granddaughter. It's about 5 hours give or take from Jacksonville, with a bad back, it may as well been on the moon. All went well. I left Sunday morning, and I was trying to read my print out from Mapquest as I was driving, I know it's stupid, but who hasn't done that. All of a sudden, There are flashing lights behind me. I looked down at my Speedometer and I was doing 50 in a 45, I thought, Hmmm, this is curious. I'm not realllly speeding. Maybe this cops a dick. Which he seemed to be. He gave the usual, "Lic, reg, insur." He told me I was doing 50, duh, in a 40, that I did not know. Here's the kicker, First he told me my registration was expired, it wasn't, he read it wrong, Then he told me his computer said I was in an altercation with someone in Baker county. That's close to where I live, the next county over. I told him, it wasn't me. Which it wasn't. It was so strange, and kinda scared me a little. Why do they have erroneous info in their computer. Did he lie? My name is pretty unusual, That is to say, not that many people have it. Could I have an evil twin going around beating people up? Did the cop lie just get me talking to see if I was drunk....?

Any way, he let me go with a Verbal warning, no ticket...That's at least the 4th time, I've been let go. I attribute that to my Class A CDL. I think they take pity on you, cause if your a truck driver, which I"m not, I was, you could lose your job....

Anyway, MY Granddaughter is beautiful....
