about the Amber Alert across the western states. So it worked just as it was supposed to -- the police weren't looking in Idaho at the time.

It scared the crap out of me, I was just sort of drifting off when I heard it.

Then they got me twice the following morning while I was driving. By the second time I realized what it was.

But I have to say, if it worked, I don't mind. I'll be better prepared the next time it happens.
