Re: 2AM Stop in Temple

I recall driving along the highway that parallels the border going east to Brownsville at zero-dark-early. Everyone else in the car was sound asleep and I was tired as you-know-what trying to get to Brownsville and a bed.
I was pulled over by a cop that noticed my high rate of speed and the wee hour of the night. I think all that he really wanted to do was make sure that I was not up to something bad. He noticed that while he was talking to me not a soul in the car had woke up.
He said that he understood that I was in a hurry to get home and to bed, but that I needed to slow down and observe the speed limits.
I have no idea what agency he was with as I was too tired to notice, and too alarmed that I had been stopped.

I think he served his purpose. The adrenaline rush of being pulled over woke me up, I slowed down, and drove on to Brownsville and got to tell my story to everyone else in the car once they woke up.

He didn't even issue me a warning.
