A Few Driving Gems

    Well it takes a couple days back at school to get my edge back.  Actually I have just been lazy about writing.
    As I traveled about our fair Hamlet, a few more driving 'situations' arose.  Does this bother you...?

1. People who take forever to get up to speed - WTF?  Why does it take some people two miles to get up to 80 KM?  I not asking them to spin their tires and fish tail across the road, but don't take two miles to get up to 80.  Just fucking go...
2. People who wait and wait and wait, at traffic circles and then go.  Let me explain.  For thirty years I have lived near a traffic circle and often I have to go around the circle to get home.  The situation that I am talking about is when you have a car coming up to the traffic circle and is in the outside lane (which used to mean that you had to exit at the first turn in the traffic circle, but of coarse that apparently no longer applies!) and there is several cars already in the traffic circle in the inside lane. The car waits, and waits, and waits and then goes and turns right at the first exit.  Why the fuck did they wait, and wait and wait ...?  It's like it took them five cars to figure out that it would have been ok to go with the first car.  I see this time and time again.  In fact, when I used to go home for lunch each day, I would see it every fucking day.  Who gave these people a driving licence?
3. People who drive half the speed limit. I understand that it is winter. I have bitched and complained about the roads all winter long, but just because the roads aren't great doesn't mean that you drive half the speed limit.  People driving forty when the speed limit is eighty, drives me fucking insane.  If you're afraid ... get a dog!
4. People who always drive below the speed limit.  I love people who drive 10-15 Km. below the speed limit all the time.  What's the problem?  Does your car not go a little faster?  Why would you drive slower than the speed limit on a regular basis?  The government has determined that it is 'safe' to drive a specific limit and they conveniently put up a sign to remind the dumb-asses who forget.  So why drive 85 when it is safe to drive 100?  Saving gas? ... Good for you! Not in a hurry?  Well, get the fuck out of the way because I am.  More than likely they are just fucking idiots.  Then when you pass them, they look at you like you're an asshole.  What's the hurry? they scream.  Get out out the way, I scream!
5. People who need an apple box.  If I can't see you above the steering wheel, you shouldn't be driving.  Like Seinfeld says, sometimes you can just see knuckles on top of the steering wheel.  If that is the case, get an apple box to sit on or maybe a tricycle.
6. People who do not signal while waiting at the lights and then put it on.  You drive up to one of the many, many lights of Sherwood Park and you are in the left lane.  The light changes and the moron in front of you turns on their signal light and you are fucked!  Thank you very much.  Planning people.  Think about where the fuck you are going and get in the proper lane, or at least show everyone behind you where you are going.
7. People who think that the left hand lane has an unlimited speed limit. I am pretty sure that there is no unlimited speed limit in the left hand lanes.  Let me check the driving manual... yes I am correct (I didn't actually check - that was sarcasm!).  People who bully you out of the left lane when you are driving over the speed limit because they want to drive faster can fuck themselves.  Just because I am not driving over the speed limit enough to satisfy you is your problem.  Go around asshole.  If I am driving above the speed limit, I can drive in whichever lane I want.

DDDD
    Sorry I haven't been updating our wonderful meals lately.  Busy... busy...busy!
Trust me when I tell you that MDW outdid herself last week with homemade pizza, vegetarian chilli, sweet potato fries, among other things.  We went out to Ernest's Grill at NAIT for their Friday Buffet.  It was good but I enjoyed the salads and the desserts best.  The entrees were ok, but not really my style.  My trailer park tastes again...  It was too gourmet for my liking.
    This week started off with BBQ ribs and french fries on Monday, a Thai stir fry yesterday and today she made pasta with tomato clam sauce.  I love this pasta.
    Tomorrow is another day.  Yum, yum!  Back to the treadmill.
