3:30AM rolled around and I was driving with cruise control on my way home. I had a good night out with friends, played some board games and had tea. No, it was not your typical Saturday night of partying. Preparing for my flight the next day, I generally can never get to sleep. Something about being stressed about the littlest of things keeps me up the entire time. So, I pull an allnighter and relax.
Getting back to the drive home, I get pulled over by our finest state trooper in WA. Completely understandable; it is past 3am and it is indeed a Saturday night. What came next, was not as expected: A breathalyzer test! I had not taken a single drink of alcohol tonight, which apparently would have made things easier. Scoring a nice level of 0 causes the officer to make you test a few more times to make sure things are working properly.
After he concluded I was *safe*, he decided to give me a lecture on the dangers of drink driving. I was not sure what he was trying to get at, but he was very graphical about removing my body from the side of the highway if I ever did decide to drink and drive.
From now on, I should carry a small mickey with me and take a shot just before getting pulled over… should make for an interesting at the station, with no alcohol in your blood by the time you get blood tested
