Drive me crazy

Don't really have anything to blog about today, but Alex told me he loves to read my blog when I'm ranting about something. So here goes. What is it with people who drive 60 or 65 in the middle lane of the freeway? HELLO!! If people are passing you on both sides, take off the hat and get in the right lane. People are going to go faster than you are, face it. You aren't proving something, or making a statement by sitting there making people go around you. I took a girl to an insurance class once and I was weaving around the 65ers and she said "Aren't you supposed to pick a lane and stay there?" Uh huh, right. These are the drivers that make my drive interesting, and my head spin. Now, in my middle age, I have to admit I have become quite a bit less aggressive, and don't exceed the limit by more than 4 or 5 mph. And I stay in the right lane unless I'm passing someone or getting out of the way of someone merging. Y'know what I really like? I sit in the right lane at 68 or 69 and watch everyone go by me and then get picked up. Makes my day--well of course I feel sorry for the people who are getting a ticket. Oh, wait, no I guess I don't. I think that when you go faster than you should, and get a ticket, you've earned it. And if I get a ticket for going above the limit, I've earned it. I met a lady once that was wanking about getting picked up and receiving a ticket for going 9 over the limit. Hey lady, do you let your child steal little things from the store, too? Well, it's just a cheap thing, doesn't count unless it is worth more than a certain amount? Give me a break! Honey, suck it up, pay the ticket and learn something.

My favorites are the ones that zing past you, fly in and out of all three lanes, passing cars like crazy only to end up being the car ahead of you at the stop light! Ah, sweet justice!

My head hurts...owieeeee...so the left lanes are for people that speed? No...wait...speeders deserve tickets, wait...no...only if they steal small things and pass other people speeding in the right lane...No WAIT, but people not speeding should go in the right lane...arrrgh...I'm confused

(just a boy...in the world...trying to make the universe better by driving the speed limit)...

FYI--my secret word below that I have to type in this time is "gehpgey". I think that's an onomatopoeia for when a guy hits on a woman, and finds out it's not a woman. As in:

"Hey Lola can I buy you a drink...hey, why do you have a banana in your pocket...AWK...GEHP-GEY!"
