Ok.. so I mentioned this in an earlier blog about the hot pink Geo Tracker.. the cops have been out in force on Bay and one of their chosen spots is on the B'Town end, at the intersection of Bay and Stebbins... for some unknown reason the speed limit tanks thru there.. your doing 35.. headed west (and 40 headed east) when all of a sudden.. BOOM.. 20 miles an hour.. TWENTY!! Thats not even 'thickly settled area' slow.. that's 'school zone' slow.. so where's the school? Beats me.. For that matter.. where's the "thickly settled" area.. nope.. that doesn't exist either, unless your counting trees and rocks..
So the cops have had one of those big lighted signs out there that announces how fast your going.. then they switched it to the other side... then a brite pink poster showed up under the speed limit sign.. scrawled in black magic marker - IT'S 20! NOT THIRTY.. NOT FORTY.. NOT EVEN 50!!
Oh the temptation to stop with a permanent marker of my own and scrawl "WHY?" across that sign.. again.. there's no school.. no houses.. nothing.. just a couple of cross streets.. and the cops.. they have got to be raking in the fat cash.. OH.. maybe it's to pay for the construction on the end of Bay.. in which case.. allow me to make a donation.. it would still be cheaper than replacing the entire underside of my truck every couple of months.. or maybe.. just maybe.. there's a less obvious reason for the 20 mph limit? There are a couple of houses down that side street.. could one perhaps belong to a town selectman? a local big wig? a town cop? or maybe it IS just as it appears.. an emergency cash flow generator.. oopss.. town needs a new snow plow... the last one got it's underside ripped off plowing Bay over the winter.. better get the cops out there!
