This might be the first of many posts about things that annoy me. But, to be fair, I have to say something nice at the end. Hmmph.
Thank you elderly lady in the Honda. Thank you average-looking guy in the Ford. You both managed to make my drive on an otherwise beautiful, bucolic, 2-lane, undivided byway MISERABLE. Neither one of you could manage to squeeze out those last few miles per hour to even GET TO THE SPEED LIMIT?
Really?
I confess, I am impatient when driving somewhere with a time deadline. But even with buckets of time, AT LEAST I GO THE SPEED LIMIT!!
The NICE thing to do? If you can't go the speed limit & it's obvious someone behind you wants to go faster (and there were
precious few passing zones on all those hills), PULL OVER! And while we're on the
subject, even if there are multiple lanes, if you're going to go slow,
GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!
Sorry for the yelling. I've been wanting to do that all afternoon.
*breathe.......
Inconsiderate drivers come in many guises. The tailgater, the weaver, the leadfoot who NEVER gets pulled, the road rager, the timid & overly cautious, the brake-rider, the brake-for-no-reasoner, the I'm-not-paying-any-attentioner, the litterer, the cut-you-offer, the crooked parker. Did I miss any?
I, of course, never do any of those things. Ever. That's my story & I'm sticking to it.

Something nice: when you have the opportunity & time, get off the interstate ("Get off the interstate Ben Stone" - obscure movie reference). Explore the byways & drink in nature. Virginia has some truly beautiful back roads.

Oh, please. Don't start with me about IDIOT drivers. They're EVERYWHERE! Try going across the United States and just see what you're faced with. Especially when you've been deprived of any decent food for TWO FREAKING WEEKS as of tomorrow.
Sorry, Kathy. I needed to blow off something. Your blog was my podium.
