    It's a Team's Life Do the Right Thing

    Why does it take the police to slow some people down? Recently while driving, I started seeing signs warning of road construction up ahead. Next came signs warning of the reduced speed limit and finally the posted speed limit sign of 55 MPH. Now I do not know about you, but sometimes I feel...
