Just a Warning

Can you overdose on caffeine? I had a lot last night. Not being a coffee drinker, I am not used to excessive amount of it and excessive amounts are required on a nine hour, overnight, rainy, dark road trip.

2:53 am (two freaking miles from our exit)
state trooper: Good morning. Where you headed?
lada: Her house
Britt: Well actually, my mom's house. We're from Chicago. It's been a long night.
state trooper: Did you just get in town?
lada: Yeah, we left there at 6:00, right in the thick of traffic!
state trooper: Well, you probably would have made it, but when you pass a fully marked state trooper going eleven over...
lada: We thought the speed limit stayed 70. I didn't see the sign that it went down to 65 until we had passed you.
Britt: We did slow down for you.
lada: We did. . .
state trooper: What are you in town for?
lada: Wedding.
state trooper: Who's wedding?
lada: A friend from high school.
state trooper: What high school did you go to?
lada: Raytown High - home of the Blue Jays!
state trooper: Alright, I'll let you off with a warning. Enjoy the wedding.
lada: Thanks, have a good night.
state trooper: Thanks, you too.
