My wife driving story :
About 14 years ago we were driving westbound on Hiway 50 in Nevada .
We were on the Eastern section coming from Colorado headed home towards Central Oregon . A desolate stretch.
I drive faster than some .
My wife sometimes says I am driving too fast .
I will drive for 3-4 hours and then the missus will spell me for a couple of hours on these long car trips .
We had gassed up and she took her turn at the wheel on "the loneliest road in America " .
I had my pillow and peanuts character blanket and zoned out .
I woke up from my nap in the passenger seat to observe that she was driving 90 mph !
I said without thinking ( as usual ) , " Aren't you going a little fast " .
She said " Do you see that sedan up the road about 100 yards ? "
"Yes , I do . " I responded .
"That particular car passed me about 5 miles ago and it has State Of Nevada Exempt plates ." she said .
" I figure that guy knows the road and the speed traps "
Smart Gal . Why she has not dumped me ,I will never know .
