undone27? Not only does she give me pretty Lij pictures to look at every day, but she also tells me things like:
Weird Al is Touring This Summer!!!!
June 21 Santa Clara, CA Paramount's Great America
Anybody interested?
A brief public service announcement:
For all impatient drivers out there who feel that it is their right to tailgate, honk their horns, or bellow at fellow drivers, please take a moment to consider that maybe, just maybe the person ahead of you in traffic isn't necessarily an "idiot". Perhaps from their vantage point they can see something you can't. For example, John and I were in Chinatown this weekend and a woman was sitting on Grant street attempting to make a left hand turn behind two other vehicles. She got impatient and started screaming out her window, "Will you just move?" Now I'm not sure if she was aware of this but the reason nobody was moving was because there were about 30 pedestrians crossing the road at that time. Short of mowing them down there was nothing to be done but to wait.
And who in the name of the gods cuts through Chinatown on a Saturday afternoon and expects to get through it quickly?
A second example. This morning I was tailgated down a residential street by a man in a large SUV with an American flag plastered over one of the windows. When I got to a red light and put on my right blinker, I paused as the lane to my right had a green turn arrow. Now I paused because it was possible (and very probable) that people were making U-turns. This didn't seem to have occurred to the fuckwit behind me who honked because I hadn't instantly started to turn. There were two cars turning, which took perhaps 3 seconds of time at any rate. The temptation to put my car into park, step out, and explain this to the asshole was nearly overwhelming, but I reminded myself that there was a very good possibility that he was armed, and he'd already shown himself to be belligerent, and I was right anyway. Sorry if I actually like my little Bug and don't want to see it get smashed because it might cut a second or two off your commute. Dick head.
So, in short, please don't be like this shit-for-brains, and think before you honk, tailgate, or scream.
End public service announcement
