Close call today. I can't believe the State Trooper let me off with a verbal. It was one of those mornings where it seemed like there was a task force assigned to annoy me at every turn. Cement mixers, slow drivers, people generally doing really stupid **** in front of me.

Finally I decided to jump off 93S at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree and hop up over the Blue Hills via Chickataubut Road. An RX-8 dream road, btw.

Ans then it happened. The gold minivan. Even worse than a Gold Toyota Camry. If any vehicle says "I'm clueless" more than a gold Camry it's a goldi minivan.

So he pulls onto Chickataubut in front of me an proceeds to take a corner at 5 and up the hill at 20.

Finally... after wanting to do it hundreds of times and now having the car with the acceleration means to pull it off, I roasted past this idiot on a double-lined mountain road. As I looked in my rearview after overtaking, there it was. A State Police Cruiser.

Lights on and I pulled over, waited, admitted to my crime and sat there for about 5 minutes before he came back to say:

"A fifteen year driving record and you've got nothing. I'm gonna let you off but you have to take it easy on these roads through the hills. Although I'll bet that's a pretty tough task when you're driving this thing."

Haha. 8 love from the State TrOOOPAH.

Thank your lucky stars! I've got way more luck with local cops than staties. Anyway, try to keep your driving record sterling.

Nice. I'd like to think that's how I'd fare if I got pulled over again. It's been 17 years.

I get that urge all the time on my way back from work, taking the long route where there's few cars and a lot of turns, then connects to a long stretch freeway to 'open up'.
