Dodged a bullet

I'm SO glad I was using cruise control tonight, for that short stretch on 285 at the east end of Sheridan, where the speed limit drops from 65 to 55 to 45, all in a mile or so. That hidden trigger happy trickster with a laser caught me doing exactly the posted 45, instead of the 55 or so I might've been going without it. It's kinda fun having a radar/laser detector, which doesn't prevent tickets, as much as it contributes to that warm fuzzy feeling, of knowing you just dodged another bullet.
