OK, Chuck,
I think I am getting clued in. 
 
So really more than IR drops due to loads we are talking inductive drops or  
increases of voltage V=Ldi/dt depending on increasing or decreasing  current. 
 
So for an instant, when relay opens and current in motor circuit decreases  
very rapidly , Scott's ground lead looks like a battery supplying at least  a 
few volts to the ground wire -- got it.
 
If per chance it supplied 5 volts, the voltage supply might drop to zero --  
assuming no capacitance at processor.
 
This brings up a question. Could a reasonable capacitor say 10 uF tied to  
processor (or real close)  protect processor from the bounce?
