I was responding elsewhere when I remembered an occurrence from long ago. Was just reminiscing with an old buddy over cards the other night, recalling some past events. Maybe it was "Do you remember that time … yada yada?" that put it in my head? See, he was a Trooper from 1985-2014 while I was from 1978-2010 so our careers overlapped and we became close friends. We both also spent years on the accident reconstruction team, a specialty. We've killed a lot of coffee too. 
One such event that was funny was once I stopped a fast moving pickup pulling a empty trailer south on I-81 with Pa. tags, just some females in it. Another Trooper found a bunch of bikes sitting on the shoulder of I-81 just down the road near about the same time, they had a "mouthpiece type person" with them … whom talked them all into tickets. I quickly let my stop go (with a warning only) to go back him up. Was there with him when here come that pickup & trailer running maybe 45 or 50 mph as it passed us by, not in a rush at all now. Guess the lady driving was heeding my warning maybe? Funny thing, bikers had mostly Pa. tags too. I didn't write anything, but my buddy sure did, but hey, I offered. :Shrug:
Another time we got a call to a multivehicle wreck on I-81 South during especially heavy traffic volume. Got to scene, no one was hurt, no tows even needed. We flipped a coin, he lost so he worked the 3 or 4 vehicle rear ender type wreck. Traffic had slowed to near a stop for some reason, a "vehicle 1 bumped vehicle 2 knocking it forwards into vehicle 3 and so on"… type deal, mostly information exchanged and statements recorded and maybe a ticket to instigator. One or rear most vehicle was a pickup truck pulling a 2 or 3 axle enclosed cargo trailer. It was also a very hot day, easily near 100 degrees and humid. I recall my buddy completing the info forms, I helped, as well as recording statements.
The driver of the pickup pulling the trailer was a 20-30 year old statuesque blond of great proportions, jeans & tee. Her mother was there as was her father, but her mother was sitting in my police car with me with AC on max because of the heat, I was just chatting with the mother at this stage. All of the drivers ahead were gone, it was just my buddies police car in front of the pick up & trailer, then in front of me was the white trailer and pick up. I had my strobes & flashers on as well as flares out behind us for a good ways. The daughter who was driving was talking to the Trooper and her dad, then I lost sight of my fellow Trooper & her Dad as they walked around in front of the pick up & trailer. She walked back between the trailer & guardrail and towards us where she was blocked from their view or traffic, her back towards my buddy's car in front of the pick up, and calmly yanked her tee up around her neck, was no bra, and adjusted things and wiped sweat off I guess, it was quite a show. She eased the tee back down adjusting things as she did. I guess she forgot we (I and her mother) were in my car just yards in front of her, I guess I was staring, then I looked across at her mother who was looking at me watching her daughter's show. I was at a loss for words for a moment. Her mother just laughed and said "that's my girl and her girls". I suggested she wait 30 miles before telling her daughter what we witnessed. My buddy was jealous when I told him over supper … he missed the show.:laugh:
