I got stopped by a state tropper
because I was on a rural, rural highway,
and I veered onto the oncoming lane
because I saw a trash bag sitting on the
side of the road, on my side of, my lane.
But there was no traffic coming,
I just, my mind went back to Afghanistan,
and roadside bombs, IEDs,
so I veered into the oncoming lane.
And I was so wrapped up in my mind
as being back in Afghanistan that I didn't realize
the trooper had been coming behind me.
He pulled me over,
asked me what was wrong and I apologized.
I said, hey, I just got back
from Afghanistan not too long ago.
You know, I saw that trash bag,
reminded me of a,
to be cautious about IEDs, roadside bombs,
and he was really cool about it, you know.
Wrote me a warning ticket and said,
hey, you're gonna be fine, you know,
just take care.
