Some kid in a Honda Civic cut off a semi pulling out from my job today.
The kid was speeding in a 35 zone, and had the nerve to honk at the semi who had been clear to pull out IF the kid had been doing the speed limit.
If the semi had squashed him, I’d have laughed his silly smirk off his face as the facts got relayed to the local constabulary.
But, he somehow made it past.
He likely won’t be so lucky next time.
Yikes!! You’re only 23? :-D
Good to see ya Darks! *HUG*

Kicking around the idea of having lettering across my windshield for some idiots who like to pull out without looking, or those that assume windshield wipers equal turn signal.
Lettering, to read as follows: I will T bone you.
The T will be dark, everything else will be white..
Well, reverse that, 32.
It has been a bit since I last went to Ohio.
And route 80 is still under construction.
*snicker*

If you look at the architectural records, you will discover a correlation between when they stopped building house with attics and when women started carrying purses.
Coincidence???? I think not.
ROFL!! That's about the truth of it. At least 7 times out of 10, if there's someone here holding up the fast lane, they have an IL plate. :-D
LOL!!
The only times I’ve driven thru Ohio have been on our way to PA. It takes FOR-freaking-EVER to get across that state. :D
There is always this;
Drivers who drive with one knee while trying to eat birthday cake on I-20 in Atlanta during rush hour traffic.
(actually happened, I passed her the other day. And she was driving in the fast lane doing 50 mph).
Ohio, preview for Limbo.
And side-door to purgatory.
My ram 1500 has driven I80 across Ohio so many times, I can put it on cruise control and take a nap. It knows the way.......
People who drive too fast in rush hour traffic and cut in and out of traffic. They cause wrecks and slow down traffic for all of us.
Did you like the unsignaled lane shifts, and the perpetual construction on Route 80?
I loved having to veer across the big paved X in the median without much warning due to road construction.. *wretching at faux sincerity.*
