Speeding Ticket

On Sunday I got my first speeding ticket (not first in Hawaii, first ever!).  I guess it was only a matter of time before we got one with the speed limits so wacky.  I think it will just take time to get use to them.  It is hard when the speed limit is 35 but nobody is going 35.  We just ran out of luck; we became one of the few to get picked out by the cops...seeing that they could have pulled over any of the 30 cars that were going way over the speed limit.  

This happened 2 hours before we were finally going to register our car.  He mentioned that we needed to get it registered because if our car got towed we would have no way to get it back.  He was nice enough not to write us up for it and told us just to get it done.  Of course when I told him we were on our way to get the car registered right then, he didn't believe me.  I know people use that excuse all the time but it really was true!  

Oh well, learned our lesson the hard way, I guess.
