Two hours later, I came upon the last stoplight between me and the barn. Remember the three bottles of water I drank? Well, it's a two-minute light, so I accelerated. As I did, the light turned yellow, then red. Wouldn't you know there was a cop looking right at me? Up she came, blue lights flashing.
I pulled into a parking lot, set the brakes, dug out my driver's license, and rolled down the window. As the cop came up, she looked at the back of my truck and shook her head. She said she'd seen my truck around town and loved what it said. I'd painted: "Slower traffic keep right." Then I added a little help: "This is your right," with a finger pointing in the right direction.
She let me go with a warning.
