Oh how I love this state.

Where else can I get quality entertainment on the roads?

I left the place this afternoon for the 1 1/2 mile drive to the Grocery Store.

On my way there I ended up pulling out behind a Q-Tip driving 20 MPH in a 45 zone. As I pulled around this driver I was greeted by the sight of a blue hair driving with a Cell Phone Glued to his ear and shaking his fist at me. I came up to the next light, which was red and watched as he motored on through cutting off a cop. I watched as the blue lights came on and he was pulled over. I couldn't believe it, the guy still had his phone glued to the side of his head even as he stepped out of his car. Then the light turned and off I went.

On the way back I was stopped at one of the three lights along my way. The traffic flow narrowed from two lanes to one right after the lights. I looked to the side and happened to get an eyefull. Two young lovelies in a Miata listening to Salsa and having a grand time. As I watched the passenger skinned out of her shirt and crawled into another. Wowza, I almost missed the light changing. Talk about a distraction.

ROFL!

I know of what you speak, cat.

Those f'in blue hairs in their Caddy's and Lincoln's are a menace to navigation.

The state's workin on US 1 up here and sections of it narrow to one lane with the ubiquitous orange barrels. Yesterday I'm approaching the narrowing point and get over in the right hand lane like any one sensible would. I drive an Explorer Sport Trac with 19" wheels so I'm not exactly invisible.

Just as I'm about to enter the single lane, four old coots in a Caddy come up on my left and attempt to force their way in! Before I can even react, they knock a half dozen barrels out of the way and go tearing up the lane going over the posted limit.

I caught up with 'em at the next light and they're jabberin' away like nothin' happened. I just shook my head. You guessed it, the licence plate was from Connecticut. How they get back and forth between here and there I'll never know.

The Sunshine State. God's Waiting Room.

The guy with the Cell phone wasn't a surprise to me. I see it way too often. (I would like to see the number of Accident Reports that start with, "Well I was talking on my Cell and,,,,,,")

The two young ladies on the other hand. Now I so wish I had my camera with me. That would have been worthy of going into my collection. That was a big surprise, and one that I was happy to see. (My wife is jealous. )
