Here's a tip: when the cop pulls you over and asks you if you know why he pulled you over, it's a trick. That's when I noticed the motorcycle cop behind me. I finally found a gas station and, late for the appointment, sped on to my meeting with LucasArts.
By this time, I was late, low on gas and somewhere in Marin, or as I like to call it, the place with no gas stations. First I had to puzzle through Doug Perry's directions.
