This is a message to all of my friends of leaden feet. To my friends who love the exhilaration of high speed. To my friends who don’t know the meaning of the words “Speed Limit”.

Have you seen the cops out there this week? I don’t know about your towns but in Eden Prairie they are out in force. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been seeing EP police on Valley View Road on my way home. But this last week there have been lots and lots out on 212 and Hwy 5. My dad saw a speed trap on Shady Oak and 212 and I saw about 3 squad cars on short drives this morning.

Oh, and on our way home from Apple Valley last night there were 5 squad cars on Cedar/77 just south of the Mall of America. The funny thing was that there were Minnapolis and Airport squad cars. I’m not sure how the whole “jurisdiction” thing works, but it didn’t seem quite right.

I’m not saying they’re everywhere. I’m just saying be on the lookout.
