Road radar
Have y'all seen the radar speed displays they are putting out by the roads all over? They are interesting, but I have a device on the dashboard of my car that performs the same exact function. I wonder if they know.

Our local police in Athens, AL(Mayberry) have been using these for several years now. They are supposed to make you slow down to the speed limit. A lot of people ignored them until the police parked a few blocks past them and began issuing those $200 non redeemable coupons.

A little off topic of the post but ive noticed a bunch of times going through orange beach theres sometimes a cop car sitting random places and once you get close to it you can see the ''cop'' sitting in the car is a fake dummy. Not sure where the real cop went...

They use those here. There was one just down from the house in a 30mph zone that would flash "too fast" of you hit 50 or so going by. I'm glad the boy and his buddy told me about it much later but I still am tempted to try it.
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
