Where Do I Begin...?

Nothing like winter to bring out the AB in me.  As usual my only excuse for not posting more is plain and simple laziness.  I should apologize for this but... meh!
Winter driving is the main ingredient to a putrid stew of social, educational, moral, petty problems that the AB cannot 'just let go'.  Where the fuck do I begin?
Let's kick it off with a minor little thing that is really an improvement, but a major kick in the gun-ions.  As most of you know, I'm MDW's ride.  I drive her most everywhere, and during the winter it is... everywhere.  This includes taking and picking her up from school on a daily basis.  She has taught at the same school for the past twenty-four years and to get there we need to cross the Whitemud freeway, south of Wal Mart.  This crossing is dangerous, infuriating and frustrating.  Many, many years ago, I told MDW that I will not ever go that way again until they have a light.  For about the past ten years, we have driven east to the Christian Academy, then south, crossing a less dangerous spot of the Whitemud, continue east, then back west to MDW's school.  We drove about an extra ten miles per day for ten years, as well as turning a twenty minute drive into a thirty to forty minute adventure.
Now, twenty days before MDW retires and we never, ever have to drive that stupid fucking route again; they put lights at the Whitemud, south of Whitemud.  Twenty fucking days!  Twenty fucking days!  Now they do it.  They are closing down MDW's school, meaning there will be less traffic heading south.  There is a shitty little gravel road near their school so very little traffic uses it to go west on what used to be twenty-third avenue.  So why the fuck now?  "Ohhhh, the traffic needs to be able to merge onto Whitemud", they will say.  Really? Now?  What exactly has changed that they need to have a merging, traffic light area now, that they did not need for the past ten fucking years.
Those fucking guys....
LK sent me an email about an article in the Sherwood Park News concerning an editorial written about the traffic concerns in our fair hamlet.  The editorial was bang on with the minimal space that the writer had in which to vent his frustration and questions.  Unfortunately this guy only touched on a few of the plethora of problems concerning the driving in SP.  I am convinced the AB could have written an entire fucking edition of the SPN about how ridiculous the driving situation is in SP.  I would like to tell this writer that it was a great opening paragraph, but please finish the book.
What drove me crazy was the moron, who in the next week's paper, defended the drivers of SP.  Are you fucking kidding me?  WTF is this guy looking at?  My only thought is that if you think things are ok driving in SP, then you most certainly are one of the fucking problems.  You are too stupid to live.  This idiot is one of the entitled, bullying, assholes of SP yuppies, that drive with zero consideration, thought or understanding of the complexities and subtleties of driving.  Please refer to my many, many posts concerning driving to refresh yourself on the litany of problems on the roads.  Here are a couple of new observations:
1) hoodie driving - It is safe to say that no one over the age of 35 would dare drive wearing a hoodie.  Not only does it look like you are fucking serial killer, but it completely and utterly blocks off all peripheral vision.  How the fuck can you drive safely when you cannot see anything that is going on around you? This is however, a social trait of the self-esteem generation, who only think about themselves and fuck everyone else.  What happens over there, doesn't matter.  Only where I am going, matters.  Not being able to see things around them doesn't matter when all you think about is where you are going and what  you want to do.  Self centred, entitled drivers, is what they are. But it is ok... cuz they look cool and that is the most important thing.
2) I have determined by considerable observation that young women (under forty) are the worst drivers on the road.  They drive like maniacs.  They social network more than anyone else, forever checking their phones, texting, talking, e-mailing and such.  And their speed is excessive to say the least.  They are scary.  But again it is ok because they look so great wearing their 'I am one of the people' - Mao hats.  Yummy mommies are dangerous drivers and should be banned from the roads.  I don't think this is too harsh, do you?
Enough about driving.  Doesn't SP do a great job cleaning roads?  We are so lucky (ha ha) to live on a bus route (actually a bus shortcut to the main bus terminal because they don't really ever stop and pick anyone up) so they do clean our street occasionally.  Of course having these busses piss me off for various reasons including that they drive close to the sidewalk, and because of no consistent snow clearing, my impeccably cleaned front sidewalk get covered with snow, squirted onto them by the bus' huge fucking wheels.  Nothing I like better than sweeping my sidewalk and an hour later, having to do it again.  Over and over.  I understand that I have nothing to do, but repeatedly sweeping my sidewalk is infuriating.  Thank you County for using my tax money to make our fair hamlet such a pleasure to inhabit.
Well as usual I tend to go off in many different directions, without a consistent theme.  So many complaints pop into my piddly little mind and I have trouble staying on track.  I will try very hard to be more vigilant in posting in a consistent manner.  I can feel then old venom building up and need an outlet.  No hockey, fucking stupid NBA players and refs, idiot athletes, the self-esteem generation and much, much more.  There is no end to frustration in this world.  All I have to do is get off my ass and write about it.
