Running in Circles

I got caught in an annoying phenomenon the other day. Got called to a domestic in progress, dood is smacking his bitch around again. Red lights and siren and 25 miles to go. I'm dodging cars at about 110 mph. Not just hauling ass but really making time. 3 miles from the scene get another call, different domestic, 15 miles away. I peal off, point the Ford north, and hit the afterburners. 130 mph and the world is a blur of shit screaming past me. When you pass a car at that speed, that is doing about 55, it might as well be standing still. This is why I love my job. 2 miles from the call, sliding around corners, and then a State Trooper checks out at my call. Says nothing is going on and I can cancel. Fuck. I just drove in a giant circle at dangerous speeds and got nothing for it. I call this Orbiting. Pisses me off.

yeah but you got to drive really fast and not have to worry about getting a ticket for it.
