Sometimes I have a bit of a lead foot. Now I'm not talking about 95 in a 35 here, I will just push it a little bit. It's called being busy and always thinking I can do just one more thing before leaving on my next venture. 

Whispering Pines police puts these electronic speed limit signs out that will even tell you - Hey, you are going 28 miles per hour in a 25 zone and we will be watching you soon! 

Now, I have lived in Whispering Pines for 16 years or so and I KNOW what is going to happen when the flashing sign goes down. But I will do it anyway - hop in the car and head down the road going just a little too fast. 

Bam, they will get me every time! Oh the agony of seeing flashing blue lights. The officer will sit in his car for what seems like forever! All the while I'm thinking, "I'm going to be late this time (sigh)." I know he is smiling as he pulls my info on his computer. Actually, he probably already knows my evil ways because the vanity plate on the back of my car seems so familiar. He is thinking, "Hey, I've been behind this one before!" 

Then the big question comes, "Ms. Breeding, have you ever been pulled in Whispering Pines before?" Now I know most people would be inclined to say, "No never!" but alas, that computer is flashing like a beacon, "Ha! You got her again!" So I fess up and tell the truth, "Oh yeah, several times!" The next question is, "For the same thing?"  My answer, "Oh yeah, every single time." I'm then told if I keep racking up these warning tickets the next one will be a real one. (Sigh). Guess I will see Mr. Officer in about a year when I forget to watch that 25 mile per hour flashing sign. 

One reason I love living in Whispering Pines is because of our police force. Really, I love these guys! We boast the lowest crime rate in Moore County. I know that our officers do a fantastic job. They are quick responders, they cruise our village streets at all hours and people better tell their friends if they are leaving their houses late at night, they can expect to be checked out on the way out.  Nothing gets past the guys on our force. They have a well known reputation in the Pinehurst area of, "You better watch those speed limit signs in Whispering Pines - they will get you every time." 

Now I must stop driving 28 in a 25 and I won't be listening to a friend's advice to buy a red sports car (to help the economy) and to change my vanity plate to read "Zooom!"
