Friday found our family tired and ready for the weekend. Scott and I had worked all week, Emily had spend two days volunteering at Cub Scout Day Camp, and Erik...well, he wasn't tired at all. So, when Scott discovered that the drive in over in Delta was showing Karate Kid and Marmaduke, Erik was the first to agree we needed to go. The only problem with the drive in on June 25th is that is doesn't get dark until 9:00. Scott assured me he would drive, I could just relax the whole time.
Off we went, and watched both the movies. After the movies we realized we needed a little fuel to get back home, so we stopped and filled up. Scott turned onto the highway and asked, "What is the speed limit through here?" I told him I wasn't sure, then he told me "Well, I'm going 35, surely it isn't lower than that is it?" Now bear in mind that Scott is extremely careful about his speed when we are with him. It drives me crazy!! But, no sooner had we gone across the bridge when the blue and red lights flashed. Thinking they were probably doing sobriety checks we were extremely surprised when "Deputy Fred" informed Scott that we had been clocked at 47 in a 30 zone. "I don't think so" was Scott's reply, it went down hill from there.
I remember General Authorities in the church telling the youth that nothing good ever comes from being out after midnight, and now I agree. I also have discovered that the city of Delta has quite a little revenue raiser right through there when the officer said, "Yeah, we write about 30 or 40 tickets a day from that spot." That's great.
