Speed stopper

For week two, I thought that I'd talk about one of the biggest nuisances
that I face here everyday...at least it is to me. Remember I told you we left the city to escape the frantic pace..? Well it seems that fast and reckless driving is no longer confined to urban areas. Our house is on the main road to town. A few miles from it not more. We're definitely in a residential area (we have the tax bill to prove it). But somehow some of the people who drive on this road, still think they have yet to reach civilization and drive like Mad Max even though the speed limit is roughly 30 miles per hour.
Now the city cannot afford a police force (remember the sidewalk) so they rely on the SQ which
is basically like the highway patrol. Since I've moved here 8 months ago, I've only seen them once, hidden out of view, waiting to pounce on the notorious contraveners. This was a Tuesday afternoon, around 2:30, in the pouring rain, in mid September, at the main crossing in town, when you could've gone bowling naked on main street without anybody noticing. I bet you the catch was a tad on the slim side that day. That Volvo driving soccer mom who always clocks in at a whopping 33 mph didn't show that day. It's almost insulting to see how they waste our money....But I digress..!
Anyway, I came up with my own little speed reducing plan. At first I wanted to put a life size cutout of Angelina Jolie wearing nothing but a sign covering the important parts that would've read...
SLOW DOWN YOU'LL MISS THE SCENERY
But then I got paranoid. What if she has a country house in the area. Could happen.. I imagined opening my front door to a raging Brad Pitt. If you saw Fight Club, you don't want to get him angry. Also, I would've been branded a sexist pig by the women in town (the three of them). So, since most of the speeders are either truckers on a route, lawyers on Harleys who dress up as their clients and prepubescent kids with a fresh new driver's license, I came up with my own little speed stopper.as you'll see in the picture (the sign is blown up on the upper left hand side). I think it might be an uphill battle to sell the idea to the city council.....
