I've been to Butterfly Springs.

Butterflies are pretty harmless compared to a wolf.

We are on part of the migration path for the Monarch butterflies. They come through in droves. They make a real mess along the interstate.

Takes a LOT of dem Butterflies just for a snack too.

The Cacidas taste better.



My dogs love them. The eat them like a candy treat.

How's life in the fast lane?

[nynor]

pretty slow. i've been driving the speed limit, more or less..... don't ask.

[Porsche-poor]

well now I have to......or not.

[nynor]

fine. i have two speeding tickets this year. totally ridiculous. i am starting to think it is my long hair. seriously, i am. i didn't have a single ticket from 1999 to 2010, which is not to say that i wasn't pulled over, because i was pulled over several times for everything from speeding to broken headlight.

suddenly, i have four tickets in four years, one of which the police officer acted like a complete thug and ended up having his lieutenant called. this kinda crap never happened when i had 'socially approved hair lenghth'.

now, i admit, i was going fast and pushing things for the first one (canyon riding on the ducati, knee down in the corners). the one a week ago was just stupid. i wasn't in a hurry, knew officers were out because it was the day before labor day, etc. still managed to get nailed. the two firearms in the front seat did give the officer a bit of pause, he certainly asked me what i had there. then, he didn't ask me for my registration, or proof of insurance. i have NEVER been pulled over and not had the officer ask for my registration. i am thinking he didn't want to see what was in the glove box.... who knows.

anyway, there you have it. my rant on tickets.

[GH85Carrera]

You scofflaw speeder. Take a page from Markus, never get up to the speed limit and shift at 4,000 RPM.

[Porsche-poor]

I must be doing it wrong. One ticket and that was in the mini van......

[HHI944]

I have to go to court in tye AM for the ticket I got driving home from Roebling. ......paying to much attention to my apex....didnt notice the cop

Around town or in cities or towns I go the speed limit or go with the flow of traffic whichever is greater.

On the highways between cities and towns it depends on the traffic. If there is one or more cars near I always drive very politely, not tailgating or cutting anyone off lane changing, and never go more than 8 mph over when passing. The idea is to NOT be labeled as an aggressive driver or worse someone report me via cell phone. When there are no cars near there is no telling how fast I might go as long as it doesn't LOOK aggressive or reckless, ie. crossing lane lines to better apex corners, etc. If I catch up with slower cars, I always lift early enough I don't have to brake to approach and pass at 5 to 8 mph faster than they are traveling. Again the idea is to not look aggressive enough to evoke a cell phone report.

Last Saturday when I passed not only on the right, but on the shoulder two cars that were blocking traffic, that was a very rare action on my part and I would not have taken it if the blockers had not done it for more than 15 miles, be doing only 60 in a 75, and ignored flashing lights and honking from more cars than just me.

Been pulled over 17 times since I started driving Porsches. Only two resulted in a ticket. One was in Texas for speeding and my only crime was passing a pickup truck that was doing 50 in a 70 in the only passing lane for 10 miles. Amazingly the ticket was for 93 and anything over 92 was maximum fine. Coinciedence? I think not. Especially since there was a huge paperwork fiasco that resulted in me paying the fine twice and Texas voiding the ticket as a mistake to keep me from losing my license in Oklahoma. Just felt like I was being fleeced by the Texas Department of Screwing out of state drivers.
