It's a St. Patrick's Day miracle.

Another one of my could've-been-run-in-with-the-law. It was Friday night & we were heading back home after watching V for Vendetta (a good movie, although I did sleep through some part of it). I am going at my usual 75-80mph on the empty stretches of US36 when suddenly a Jeep Grand Cherokee overtakes me from the right. I'm thinking "Gee, that guy must be in a hurry."

Not even 10 seconds have passed & therez another guy tailgating me. Now, I'm beginning to think, "Is even 80, too slow for this time of the night?". I usually don't allow such wannabe speedfreaks to intimidate me into allowing them to pass. So, I step on the gas, watch the speedometer needle move upto 85 & then God knows what overcame me. In a split second, I just moved into the right lane and let the tailgater go ahead.

And exactly about 5 seconds later, my tailgater turns on his RED-n-BLUE lights and brings the Jeep in & books him. It's an undercover cop.

Whew, that was a close one !!!
