A Good Day For Idiocy
At lunch I saw two redneck looking dudes in wife-beater T-shirts
standing in the median of Irvine Boulevard (a very busy street). Nearby, in the left turn lane, were a Jeep Cherokee and a jacked-up monster truck; the hood of the Jeep was crumpled. The monster truck had no apparent damage. How's that for poetic justice? SUVs are notorious for being dangerous to other vehicles in a crash due, in part, to their higher bumper lines - and now here's an SUV on the receiving end. Later, while waiting at my shuttle stop this evening I witnessed the following: Bimbo, driving a red econobox, cell phone held up to her right ear, pulls up to a red light - well, sort of. Craning her neck around to the left, she came to a quick stop half way around the corner, decided the coast was clear, and proceeded around the turn. Of course, she pulled out directly in front of 55 MPH oncoming traffic. With traffic bearing down on her, and the phone still firmly plastered to her right ear, she reached across with her left hand and shifted her manual transmission into second gear. Luckily for her there were no pedalcyclists in the bike lane; with both hands off the wheel, her car was driving about 75% of the way in the bike lane. At the very least she would have run one of them off the road. |

Now that I spend eight hours a day driving I see all kinds of crazy behavior. One funny thing I saw yesterday was a tent on the grass shoulder of a six lane freeway, only ~30 feet from the right lane. First time I saw it was at 7 am, then at 9, but in the afternoon it was gone. Not sure if anyone had actually spent the night in it, or if it was just a joke, either way it can't provide much noise or crash protection... > > Floyd Ulf |

Scott Go to Europe for a few days, and except for maybe Germany, NO ONE THERE knows how to drive... Especially Greeks and Italians.. they drive on sidewalks ! Stop signs? Whats that!? Really, of all the places around the world that I lived in, U.S. has the best overall drivers. Most of the idiots are, unfortunately, FOB (fresh off the boat) |

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
