Missed the last TBV breakfast run. I was running late and it turned into too late.

Finally got my first ticket. This was on eastbound Gandy, Tampa side. A TPD officer was standing behind a lightpole with a laser gun. Pretty darned hard to spot, and I didn't. He got me fair and square coming over the bridge, and there were a couple cars up the road to pull over the miscreants.

I was nice to the officer and he was nice to me. 81 in a 55 and he only wrote me for failure to obey a traffic control device, not exceeding the speed limit. Thank you Sir. I have no kick, 28,000 miles, most "enthusiastic", without even a pullover.

Now I'm going to try Shadow's lawyer recommendation and see if I can wear it down some more.
