Subject:Re: Speeding ticket while Vanagon was in the shop

I met, most likely, the only RCMP in the Yukon Territory while driving my
brother's V8 Tundra from Portland, OR to Anchorage.

Sheesh, what a smooth ride.   I was flying.  I argued with Shirley over the
fact that it only seemed as though I was going 80 mph--you see, at the
time, our horizontal vector was well within the speed limit, but we were
free-falling into a frost heave at nearly a 100 mph.  Combine those
components, and her radar went off like a Slot Machine.

No lie she says, "so you got yourself a speedin' ticket, eh." The proceeded
to tell me that I didn't need to be in such a hurry. I thought to my self,
"Shirley, if I was in a hurry and we crossed paths in this truck--I'd most
likely be spending a night in jail for reckless driving."

My Vanagon keeps me out of Traffic Court.
