What are you waiting for?
This morning driving to work, such a pretty day. Sun shining almost 70, just pretty. I drive almost an hour, so windows down-radio up and on the way to work I go. I have a lead foot, I know this and that is why I use my cruise control religiously. Especially when songs come on that I reallyy like, for some reason I just can't seem to sing and not speed. So, cruise control it is. That's why the blue lights really surprised me this morning.
Sure, I saw the cop heading the other direction, but I wasn't speeding so I really didn't give him a second thought. It was a long stretch of road, speed limit was 45 and it was only two lanes for almost next 10 miles...when sure enough, he had turned around and was coming up behind me. What the Hell?
Getting pulled is bad enough. Getting pulled over when you have a concealed weapon is even worse. So I pulled over, turned the radio down, put my hands on the steering wheel and waited. He walks up and says the typical "Do you know why I pulled you?". I replied that I honestly had no idea, but I had to advise him that I have a concealed carry permit and was in possesion of a firearm. That statement always changes the tone of things. He said that was fine, could he see my license, registration and permit. Yes Sir, not a problem.
He looks at everything and says that everything seems to be in order and back to his original question, did I know why he had pulled me. Nope, not even a remote idea. He said he had reasonable suspicion. Ok, now I am suspicious. He then said he had never seen anyone singing with the windows down on a Monday morning and it made him suspicious. Really?! And would I like to go out Saturday night...wait, what? I told him that I had plans Saturday and if there was nothing else, I really did need to get going as I was heading to work before he stopped me for this nice little chat. He replied that if I changed my mind, to give him a call and gave me his card. I told him to come see my plans for Saturday night, and if he still wanted to go out after that--we'd see (wink). So, I invited him out to the proving grounds Saturday night where I will be running a 2500 diesel through the mud and the muck for all she's worth. Told him to leave the badge at home if he came.
Now I am sitting here wondering what the hell was I thinking? Oh well...and apparently being happy on a Monday morning is suspicious behaviour (a)
