Today's pucker factor moment

Brought to you from the same area of the Darwin failure in MO (pass on
a hill) last week. Same stretch of road (MO 6, mostly no-passing
zones).

This time I was doing 65 in a 55 for 14 miles. Had a semi on my
tailgate the whole time. The road is rough at 55 let alone 65.
Thought for sure I'd end up being his hood ornament, as he was close
enough to allow for counting the bugs in his grille. Later on the
drive I got behind a pickup doing 57. I slowed; so did the trucker.
Oncoming traffic prohibited a pass; good thing, because one of the
oncoming motorists was from the sheriff's department. Had a patrolman
been on the stretch mentioned, I'm sure BOTH of us would have been
ticketed.
