Ever gotten a speeding ticket?
Ha! The most recent was driving Evil Brother GaryNate home from the bone dinner. I fell into a speed trap in some hickville town in Trempleau County at 1:30 in the morning. I was doing 55 in a 35. They got me right after the speed limit dropped for hickville. The one before that was on I-90 between Rochester and Winona. I had Lisa and Kristin Yost in the car. We were headed to Branden's funeral. The cop drove across the grass median at at least 60 miles an hour and spun around before coming after me. Luckily I was smart enough to not use being late for the funeral as an excuse and avoided some lame cop line about causing my own funeral. Generally speaking, I'm good for a ticket every year and a half to two years or so.

Ran out of gas?
Once. I was driving up the really steep hill on State Street in E.C. I was only a couple hundred yards from that gas station on Clairemont at the top of the hill, so it was a short walk. I think I would have made it if the terrain was flat.
