OK, well here goes. I am supposed to not drive faster than 45 mph due to restrictions, but I don't go much faster than 58 when those few times I get on the interstate to go 3 miles occurs. And yes, the minimum speed on I35 is 45 mph.
Here in Bubbaville, but oh Bubba Bears are grrr, the majority of vehicles are eitehr SUVs or Pick-up trucks, mstly extended cap. Me, I drive a Mazda 626 LX. It can be unnerving when you look to your right, left, ahead, and behind you and it's only THOSE vehicles. One good thing I can say for high gs prices is some of these bozos couldn't afford the gas anymore. Which makes me happy. so they get smaller cars. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to go to Omaha in 2005 and hardly see ONE bubba vehicle for quite a stretch of an avenue or the expressway when we were estate saling. To me, it was a civilized moment
There are a lot of the small SUVs (like Veg's--which is so cuuute VEG), but they can be just as much a pain in the patute. A case in point. This morning I was leaving for work. A small SUV comes careening out of an apartment complex parking lot, doesn't even slow down for the cross street, she just kept on rolling. I was glad i wasn't 20 further. And she sopts at the traffic light at the front of my subdivision. She gets ALL THE WAY up to the edge of the cross street with her hood. Mind u, here in bubbavile state, we can turn right on red. I was turning right. I couldn't see through the hussies front end so I could turn right. After saying quite a few choice words in her direction, to cap it off, she was yammering on that phone.
I have one rule, do not talk on the phone while behind the wheel!! It's getting to the point where I'm tired of people walking and talking on the phone, is your life so frickin messed up u HAVE to be yammeering on the phone all the time? It's getting now where I'm tired of seeing fellow employees walking through the hospital yapping away (officially NO cells r 2 be used in the building, technicall they can't be on when within 300 ft. of patient care devices). I am tiring of the crazy life all the technology has created. And let's not forget forget all those in the grocery store yapping away while selecting items off shelves or even bette, have the phone in one hand, pushing the cart with your body, and teh 4 or 5 y/o is wandering up & down/across the aisle. I personally, if my phone rings while I'm shopping, I find an out-of-the way locale in the store where I won't be disturbing people.
OK, 'nuf of my rant!!
