Pacific Coast Highway
I was on a long bicycle ride down (and back up) State Route 1 in California. It's terribly scenic, and I was really enjoying the views. Got about 25 miles from where I was staying, turned around to find I'd had a strong strong tailwind the whole time. And it's up hill all the way back. After an hour or so I was so exhausted I pulled over, threw the bike in the ditch, and had a nice half hour nap right there in the gravel. Nobody stopped to see if I was dead, which was fine with me. Feeling rejuvenated, I continued on my way until a flat tire (and no tools to fix it) resulted in hitching the last 10 miles back.

Red 'N' Blue Lights
So this one's not actually a run-in but it almost was...

Me and my buddies had just got back into town after a big job overseas. We arrived about 9 in the morning so were pretty well pissed by 11. Always a reason to celebrate, right!

Fast-forward to closing time, which in California is usually about 2 in the morning. Out of the fog I remember the three of us walking down the middle of the main street in town, and looking back we notice the good 'ol Red 'N' Blue flishy flashy flishy flashy... "Whatthehellarethosecopsdoin? Musbeaffersumun. Hey!they'recominthisaway!" At that instant some skanky middle-aged tramp in a little tiny red sports car swerves around us and asks if we wanna ride. Somehow we all crammed into that car and made it safely home.

Well, more or less safe. I woke to find I'd puked sushi all over myself. Took me months before I could eat fish again.
