55Flash Fiction Friday

It was a wonderful day
Lots of sunshine
Nice temperature
What a great day for a drive

That is until they came across you
You snuck onto the expressway
You raised your gun
pointing at each unsuspecting passer by
You take aim and pull your trigger
And ruin some unsuspecting driver
with an expensive ticket

I took a mini vacation over an extended weekend last weekend. Especially when I am on a long trip I use my cruise control. I set it at or just slightly above the speed limit and then just drive. That was I really do not need to worry about the police and speed traps. Thank goodness I did that.

I rarely see any police on the I-69 and I-65 in Indiana. Well they more than made up for it this time. They were everywhere. They hid in some of the most creative places. If I was not going the speed limit I would have been busted at least a couple of times. Not only where they everywhere in Indiana but I noticed the same in Kentucky and even Michigan. I think they are dealing with the tough times by writing more tickets.

My mini vacation was way to short. Usually it is 11 days, this time it was 4. Still I loved the chance to visit with my friends and to attend a Derby party. Well that and I brought a set of Cornhole boards and broke them in. I won the game I played but it was only because the other team was not doing to good either. I think we were trying to be in a battle for last place.

Well off to celebrate my Moms birthday and of course, Mothers Day. Have a wonderful weekend and, if your Mom is still on this earth don’t forget to tell her how much you appreciate her.
