Day 136: not the best way to start the morning

Not what you want to see in your rear view mirror first thing in the morning.  Mine is so dirty it's hard to see much, but the flashing lights are clearly there.

I seem to get pulled over at this same stretch right before Ronan about once a year. I think the state of Montana and I have differing opinions about how quickly you need to decrease your speed before entering town.

I liked the old Montana speed limit that was just "careful and prudent." I'm nearly always careful and prudent but I do sometimes forget to pay attention to those speed limit signs in those areas where the speed decreases by five miles or so every hundred yards.


At least the nice officer just let me off with a warning.
