Speed Limits

Yesterday wasn't my best day. My highlight was the kind cop not giving me a ticket. On our way to Aikido I took McGuire, which used to be 45 mph. I passed a cop and looked at my speedometer (47). No big deal! I had driven quite a ways when I see flashing lights behind me. I thought what the heck, I stopped at the light and the road I was on at this point was 45 and I hadn't even hit 45 yet. So the cop tells me I was going 50 in a 40 on McGuire. I apologized and explained that I thought it was 45 and my speedometer read 47. He gave me a warning thank God. I did have him doubting himself and he was going to go check the sign. On the way home I checked and in my bad mood apparently missed two signs saying 40. That cop probably took one look at me and thought "this poor thing can't handle a ticket today." So the saying "God never gives you more than you can handle" has to be true cause I think I would have completly lost it if I had gotten a ticket.
