Some years ago, when my son was in high school and the lead attackman for his lacrosse team, he saw one of the speed monitors down the street from our house.
He dragged his lacrosse net from our backyard and brought his sticks and a bunch of balls. Setting up the goal just past the machine, he started taking shots. Got it up to around 97 mph.
He turned around and suddenly realized there was a cop in a car watching him.
Life's simple pleasures...sometimes I wish I was a kid again...

"Nice shot," the constable said, and drove on.
Kid couldn't have been prouder...
