I have no idea what goes on over at Facebook, but I hope weβre a more welcoming lot over here.
BTW, if you ever did fancy it, the Alpine course at Millbrook Proving Grounds is a pretty amazing drive.

The patrol carβs lights washed over our Honda Civic in red and blue, turning the inside of the car into a flickering aquarium of color. It was the sort of traffic stop that happens every day on American highways and rarely becomes anything more than a warning, a ticket, and an irritated story told over dinner later. My wife, Sarah Williams Chen, had been driving seventy-eight in a sixty-five on Route 35, not dangerously fast, just fast enough to catch the eye of a state trooper working radar behind an overpass as we made our way toward her motherβs place in Millbrook on a gray Saturday afternoon. She handed over her license and registration with the calm competence of someone who had been stopped before and always emerged with nothing worse than a fine and a mildly disapproving lecture. When Officer Martinez asked if she knew why he had pulled her over, she gave him the small apologetic smile that had once charmed me in a crowded coffee shop near Columbia, back when we were both younger and still believed our lives would be built out of honesty because we ourselves intended to be honest people.
Officer Martinez took the documents and returned to his cruiser. I watched him through the rearview mirror, expecting the usual few minutes of typing and waiting, the little bureaucratic pause that stands between inconvenience and continuation. Instead, something in his posture changed. He sat straighter. He leaned toward the screen with a concentration that didnβt belong to a routine speeding stop. Minutes stretched. Traffic hissed past. Sarah adjusted the rearview mirror and brushed invisible lint from her sleeve. When the officer stepped out again, he did not return to her side of the car. He came to mine and tapped lightly on the passenger window.
βSir, could I speak with you privately for a moment?β he asked.
There was nothing aggressive in his tone. That made it worse.
I glanced at Sarah. She looked confused but not alarmed. I opened the door and followed him a short distance behind the car, far enough from the window that our voices would blur into the sound of passing traffic. The shoulder smelled faintly of hot asphalt and engine exhaust. The late sun pressed against the side of my face. Officer Martinez turned toward me and held my gaze in a way that made my stomach tighten before he had said a word.
