May 7-8 was a huge Scout Jamborall held in Blackfoot at the Idaho State Fair Grounds. The local amateur radio club set up a booth at the event to show the scouts what ham radio can do. They needed volunteers to help man the booth, so I went up on Saturday morning and stayed until early afternoon. I had a lot of fun with the scouts and the other folks from the club.

On the way home my phone rang. It was Nina. She’d been in Idaho Falls doing some not-so-successful clothes shopping. I answered the phone.

“You’re speeding!” she said.

“Huh? According to the GPS I’m going 77 mph,” I replied.

“You just went flying past me on the freeway and you’ve got to be going faster than 77. I’m going 75 and you blew right past me.”

Well, the Avalon’s speedometer isn’t all that accurate. It reads faster than you’re actually going. Even though it says 75, she was probably going about 71 or 72. Still, I don’t think I “flew” past her! Interesting coincidence that we met up like that.

TTFN!
