I was pressed into running over to Arizona to buy Powerball tickets this afternoon. Stopped at Pamela's for a few hours, then headed back to Las Vegas.
Driving along route 215 in the far left lane, probably doing 10 mph over the limit, when I see a cop car getting onto the freeway. I slowed down to 70 mph and then see several other cars and suvs getting on behind the police car, except their lights were all flashing.
I figured screw it, I got on the gas and here comes some unmarked suv with lights flashing and a dude frantically waving out the back window at me. I thought "screw this" and took off, playing dumb. I figured it was a late afternoon funeral or something unimportant, so I got the hell out of there. Just then I notice the reason for the motorcade: Mitt Romney was on his bus being escorted into the far left lane behind me.
I figured the guy who was waving at me was probably secret service. Glad I didn't let them go by or I'd still be stuck in Henderson, of course.
