Default Just Landed in Sarasota / Englewood area



My wife, Kim and I just landed in Englewood last night with our S from Kalamazoo.

We will be in this area for 7 to ?? days depending on the Weather up north. The Bridgestone SO2s are on the S, so we can't go home till all the roads up north are Clear.



So what's going on around here ?



Also,


We would like to Thank the Georga Po Pos who lets us off w/o a ticket.

They set us up real Good with three cars running behind us without lights on at 4am last saturday morning. The Officers paced us, and then taged us doing 98, just to let us go with a warning . They must have seen us on camera somewhere in Atlanta on I75 going very fast. They tried to get us at first on Radar a couple of times just south of Atlanta. That didn't work (escort SR7), so they set us up about 50 miles later with a Very Stealth Stevie Wonder Sting.

That Worked, The Officer said "you all must have a good radar system becaues you sure do slow down real quick when I hit you with my Radar". He then ask me about 10 questions (I must have scored a perfect 10) and let us go on our way

Once again Thanks, Georga Officers



So what's going on, and where is the best drive around here ?


Thanks: Fred

Can you make it to Orlando meet this Thursday? It's only about 1.5hours or so from Tampa? The meeting place is right off of I4.

on not making it to Orlando-but completely understandable making plans with your Mom.

If things change--try to make it.
