On the flip side when I was moving down to Dallas QNX allowed me
to ride my bike down instead of having it shipped. And of course
I went down the parkway.

Well I came up on a white cherokee with a couple of extra antenas
on it, hmmm I though to myself. So I passed it very carefully, and
did not get into it again until after he was clearly out of my
mirrors.

So about 20 minutes late I came up on another white cherokee with
some extra antenas on it, so I figured, it worked last time. And
I still was not sure if these white jeeps where yogees or not. So
I passed it very carefully. And of course by the time I was parallel
to the front of it I saw a couple of blue flashing lights behind
the grill, duh!

So I pulled right over, up a bit of a hill so I was out of the way
of traffic, although I do not think a single car passed us while
we where on the side of the road.

The thing that he asked me was "What are the rules for passing",
of course I said "wll um, er, safe and prudent", his responce was
"I don't know about the laws up in Canada but down here you are
not allowed to exceed the speed limit. I saw you coming and adjusted
my speed to exactly 5 over the speed limit so I know you where
exceeding it"

He then looking carefully at my documentation and commented on my
beutiful ZX6e, and we proceeded to talk about my move to Dallas
for about 2 minutes.  He then warned that the next yogee might not
be so kind, and wished me a good day.

Just makes you wonder, I think it is that there are more judges
that D&D than are openly gay, so there is some sympathy to those
who where caught with D&D. I personally think that first offence
gets 1 year suspension of driving privaledges and 2nd offence beeing
life suspension is a good starting point.  And if the jerk says I
need it for my job the responce from society should be "dumb ass"
and point him the McD's. But then again do we really want a person
like that serving our kids food.

Okay, time to quietly step off the podium, sorry about that.

Care to share any good roads that have a general north south slant
that someone starting in say Tenesee or Florida might use going to
say Ontario? Okay, with that in mind
