IDAHO – Police #3
As you motor down the state of Idaho, there isn’t a central thoroughfare or easy, big freeway connecting the towns. One minute you’re cruising through the mountains on a 65 mph road, then suddenly jet braking for a tiny town with a 35 mph speed limit… for a mile… then back to the 65 mph…. rinse… repeat…

I got pulled over by a behemoth unmarked 4×4 truck in a super small, Dukes of Hazard town (but without the Daisy Dukes)… it seems driving 71 mph in a 35 mph zone is not acceptable in Idaho…

In between all my “Yes, Sirs” and “No, Sirs,” I tried charming Officer Weiner with my “Folk Singer” defense. It did not work. Apparently, Idaho doesn’t care about the arts or romantic troubadours or true heroes who save people’s lives… and I got a ticket to ride… a ticket for $101… thank you Portland (giveth)… thank you Idaho (taketh away)…
