Yep, you got it!! It is a ticket!! I cannot believe it, still. And here is my story, and I am SOOOOOO sticking to it...(I know, everyone says that...but really....)
Max and I are driving through downtown Ashland, we pass a police officer on a motorcycle....who looks at me...makes eye contact, and chases me down. Really......I was sure he had mistaken me for someone (anyone) famous.....well, he didn't even ask me for my autograph...instead he asked me "do you know why I stopped you"? "Not a clue" I replied...maintaining a calm voice....(it pays to be a Drama Queen sometimes). "Well, I stopped you for doing 37mph in a 25mph zone". My husband, you know, the one I mentioned above? says "why did you stop her....she was with the traffic"? My policeman says "She was leading the pack"......"She was not leading the pack...she was following". "She had cars behind her"....came the reply from my personal officer...(indeed I did).....Seems the gentleman chose to see me as leading, instead of following......Now, I could be pleased...I never see myself as a Leader.......soooo.....to look at the bright side...I have given MY favorite cop something to tease me with....(our son, Bob)......what with me being the proud owner of a $145.00 ticket.....
Now, I am leaving you with a photo I took while I was waiting to pick up the car today....(his wife just called....it might be ready tomorrow.......

OMGosh Jan, how incredible to get the ticket - it's not fair when they just pick anyone out of the pack to give the ticket to...why not the 'leader' which obviously wasn't you....ohhhhh, got me mad now!!!!
Hope the car is done to satisfaction...don't need another upset! lol
Hugs, Karen

I admire your sense of humor in all of this.. when inside you have to be screaming and crying. Sorry you won't be able to complete your trip to see the kids. I have a grand daughter Katie too but she is Katie O to me, not Katie Did..
Best of luck
So... are you having a good time yet? Geesh, you are having one heck of a little vacation! It can ONLY get better from here! {{{hugs}}}
Thanks to all of you!! You made my day, and made me smile!!
Karen: I wish you had been with me!! You could have told 'em! (course, I might be visiting you in the "hoosegow" as Grandma used to say!
