after my second yr i was driving to denver for my third yr rotations with katy and my classmate steven. its about a 1000 mile drive, with nothing but desert and emptiness in between. key for the drive was to hit up all the IN-N-OUTS on the way there. well anyway driving through cali going 100 at 4am in the morning, finally stopping in salt lake city to sleep at some point.

when we got back on the road, we started on some two lane highway with nothing on the road but trucks and literally nothing around the way. at some point i was the lead car while steven was driving behind me going about 90. i saw a cop a few miles behind us, so i called steven and told him to pull to the right and slow down. so we stayed with the trucks on the slow lane for about 20 minutes with the cop behind us.

finally the cop pulled up to the side of steven and passed him. feeling better, i relaxed for a second, then the cop pulled in between us and turned on the lights and pulled me over. our cars were packed with clothes and other stuff we were moving, so i quickly told katy to open up the medical book to the nastiest pictures she could find. looking behind me i realized steven also pulled himself over like a dumbass.

shaking my head, i waited for the officer who went over to steven first and then to me. first thing he says is
"your friend says u were going 90" (fucken dumbass, why would you tell the cop that???)
"no officer, i had the cruise control on going 60"
"well i have you on the radar at 80, how bout the young lady come and look at the radar in my car" (sounds like the beginning of a bad porno)
so needless to say, steven and i both got hit with 300 dollar speeding tickets that we had to mail to the judges house, and thats when we knew we were in wyoming.

  1. I guess in Wyoming they can see forever, so you can't get away. Sorry to hear about that horrible experience. I did really like your narration, though. Especially the part about how it sounded like a bad porno. Totally did!

    Also, because reading your blog always puts a smile on my face (and sometimes a cringe), I've given you a Sunshine Award over on my blog!
