As I am busy returning from yet another trip out to see the grandkids (this time the younger set, aged 3 and 7), I thought it might be a fitting time to recall just how wrong road trips can go. So here it is, my column from July 17, 2009. “I recall last issue saying that our trek to see the grandchil- dren was uneventful, which was a good thing given the soap opera, drama and comedy that was our vaudevillian trip from Toys ‘r’ Us to the safety and comfort of our own garage. I was mistaken. I guess it wasn’t as uneventful as we thought it was, only we didn’t know it until just a few days ago. I looked at the envelope and wondered why the City of Lloy- dminster would be sending me mail. I looked at the picture inside the envelope and wondered why they’d send me a picture of the back end of my truck. Then I read the fine print - “82 kph in a 60 zone. That’s speeding, buddy, and you’re going to help us reduce the City’s deficit for the year.” Well, it didn’t say that exactly, but the message was clear. On a section of highway near the outskirts of town, the cameras were busy taking snapshots and my truck was one of the subjects. A few days later, I heard an item on Historic moment is just the beginning CBC radio on Lloydminster’s photo DAVE radar. Apparently, photo radar to catch A historic moment.
