MIKE,

DON'T LAUGH!!

SEVERAL YEARS AGO I WAS TAKING A "SWEEPER" TEAM TO NEW YORK CITY FOR A TECHNICAL SECURITY PROJECT. WE WERE DRIVING A LATE MODEL DODGE CARAVAN WITH A V-6. NOW, WE HAD IT LOADED WITH EIGHT LARGE CASES OF OUR TECH GEAR AND THREE OF US (NO LIGHT WEIGHTS HERE). I'M DRIVING - ABOUT 90 MPH +/- ON I-95 IN THE LEFT LANE. I NOTICED A FULL SIZE WHITE SEDAN ABOUT A MILE BACK - COMING UP FAST IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. BELIEVING IT TO BE AN UNMARKED POLICE CAR (IT HAD TO GOING WELL OVER 100 MPH), I GOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET THE VAN COAST BACK DOWN TO 75 OR SO WHILE LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO DIVE OUT OF THE FAST LANE. THE WHITE SEDAN PULLED RIGHT UP ON MY REAR BUMPER AND STAYED THERE UNTIL I GOT OUT OF IT'S WAY. AS IT ACCELERATED PAST US I LOOKED OVER TO SEE TWO "LITTLE OLD GREY HAIRED LADIES". THE PASSENGER WAS DEFINITELY FLIPPING US THE "BIRD" AND THE DRIVER WAS SHAKING HER FIST AT US. I DARN NEAR RAN OFF THE ROAD LAUGHING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY WERE GOING BUT IT WAS PROBABLY TO ATLANTIC CITY TO KICK A$$ AT THE CASINOS.

NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE LITTLE OLD GREY HAIRED LADIES.

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

BLACKJACK
