Someone please help me out...long story short.
I was following my wife (me 98 Tahoe, her 04 Venture) to have the van worked on at the dealership 4 miles away. She pulls onto the 2 lane highway, I check traffic, pull out to follow her. I stay back a football field or so. A couple of hills and curves and we (we are following 5 or 6 other vehicles) meet a city cop a mile or so out of town. He stops, turns his blue lights on, does a u-turn, gets behind me, pulls me over, and says he has me locked in at 81 mph! He comes back with a ticket for 81 in a 55, tells me when I can come see him in city court, or I can pay in person or mail anytime before that. Now, I drive back and forth to work around 300 miles a week, always early to work, take my time coming home, and I get accused of driving like an old man, and don't speed. What are my choices, what can I do? It's my word against his, and you know the judge is gonna side with him. This is a small town in east central Indiana, never had this problem before. But WOW, he's gonna stick me with a $170.00 ticket that I do not deserve. If I did,I would have paid it the next day and be done with it. Anybody had this kind of thing happen to them before? Short of getting a lawyer, I think I've been had. Wife says there's no way we were going that fast. She says we were maybe 55 to 60 mph. Can she go with me as a witness? Would that carry any weight? I'm just frustrated as all get out. Email is open and thanks to all for help and maybe best of all, just to vent. Mike And guess what...it was the last day of the month and we have a new firehouse and police station to pay for...me being bitter or just a coincedence?

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
