I had my first run-in with the German authority yesterday. Well, not really, it wasn't yesterday and I didn't meet any authorities but I did get a speeding ticket in the mail. It was about a month ago on a trip I took way up north. One of the many roadside cameras thought I was going a bit fast and took my picture. It's a really good shot, too bad it's only b&w.

The tickets aren't as bad as they are in the US. Before I left KS, I got one for going 70 in a 55 and had to pay $100+. This one was for going 62 in a 50 and all I had to do was send in 25€ and it doesn't go on any permanent record.

To be honest, I think it was worth it just to be able to say I've gotten a German speeding ticket. Good times were had by all.

God's love and God speed
