I didn’t think I would have any “blog worthy” material on our way to Michigan but Roger supplied! He got a traffic ticket for running a red light! The second one in his whole life! His first was in Richland on the day we both got a speeding ticket on our way to work!
We were driving through Meade, Kansas – going the speed limit – when the only red light in town turned yellow and then immediately red – there was no way he could stop the motor home in time so we glided through it. That’s when we met “Barney Fife.” Roger admitted he did it and the cop said “happens to the best of us, they put that thing in and now it’s my job to enforce it.” The ticket was for $150 - $60 fine plus $90 court costs – Roger said “why am I being charged a court cost when I’m not going to court?” and the policeman said “I’m not at liberty to debate that issue sir.” There goes a tank of gas!
We drove a long day and spent the night in Dodge City – haven’t seen Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty – although the Long Branch Saloon is still here!
