I’ve been “stalked” when exiting a bar/restaurant parking lot after a meal and a pint, and given the “follow the pen with your eyes” test when I turned down a side street to see if I was being followed or was just paranoid (”evading, he said). Passed the test, but a PITA. Not much different I guess.

Has happened to me too, though in a different way. After a day away from home that included some shopping in a large west Texas city followed by a nice meal with a beer, I hit the road to drive the 100 miles home. I realized I was getting very sleepy when I passed through a small Texas town. The local Wal-Mart parking lot where I wanted to doze was full of trucks loading and unloading so I drove across the street to a well lighted church parking lot.

I must have been really tired and been asleep for over an hour and was awakened by an officer tapping on my window. After giving him my license and registration, he told me to step out. Then I noticed that there were at least two other cop cars parked in back of me - the entire shift police force was there! He skipped the finger pointing but gave me a breath test - 0.00 is what I blew. The officer then apologized and said this was not the place to park but in back of the all-night convenience store down the road was o.k. At the time I had a modified McCain-Palin sticker on my bumper that said “I’m voting for Sarah” and he said he liked it. No ticket or warning, just a friendly “good night and drive carefully.”
