[s-cars] Interesting news

[Robert Myers]

My favorite passing story happened several years ago in Virginia.  I 
was driving home in a snowstorm in 14 inches of snow.  The left lane 
of I-64 was hard packed snow and the right lane was two dark glazed 
tire tracks.  There was a long string of murkin arn types poking 
along in the right lane at about 30 mph.  I was driving the left lane 
at about 60 (limit was 65).  Leading the charge in the right lane was 
one of Virginia's finest.  He flashed me with his bubble gum machine 
so I pulled off into 14 inches of heavy snow way off on the right 
shoulder with smokey close behind.  After he finally ran down I drove 
off and left him.  When last seen in the rear view mirror from a 
distance of about two miles he was still stuck in the snow.  I 
chuckled the rest of the way home.  ;-)
