Almost Road Kill

Just got back from my 9-mile run. It was only 93 when I finished. But it really didn't bother me. I embrace the heat. Anything under triple digits is OK with me.
 
I was running across a crosswalk with the light in my favor when this old lady in a white Cadillac (it could have been Grandma) cut me right off so I had to come to a dead (almost literally) stop. I pointed to my green light and she sped by. Lucky for me (not her) there was a Highway Patrol car at the light that saw the whole thing. He turned on his flashing lights and after a low-speed chase of about three blocks pulled her over. When I caught up to them first I thanked him for looking out for me then I was going to offer to be a witness but I could tell he'd let her off with a warning when he said, "We're all squared away here." I wonder if he would have let her off if she hit me?
 
Paradise is where I am.
