thoughts from the interstate

just a few thoughts I had today while en route to Charleston and back......

why do people believe that if you ride someone's tail at 70 mph that they will move faster? Sorry, if I am doing the speed limit, in any lane, and you are riding my bumper so close that you should have asked it to dinner first, all you are gonna get is to buy me a new vehicle. Dare ya........

why do those same people not even flinch at the thought of suddenly swinging directly in front of a 53 ft tractor trailer moving at the same speed, with no signals, no clearance, no warning of any kind? I swear I think the Darwin award was made for these people.......

why did they make those ever changing billboards---you know the ones that advertise the dr one second and beer the next? If I am driving like I am supposed to, I am NOT going to be able to take a look at the durn thing.........

And by the way, to Mr/Ms NY plates that I followed all the way out rt 10 to work today-------get some help. If you cannot drive at anything approximating the posted speed limit---usually 15 mph slower than posted----then get the hell off the road. Even better, the next time I drive thru your state, I will make doubly sure I drive AT the posted speed limit----55 shouldn't be a problem for you, since it is the posted speed limit on your stupid interstates. We can at least go 65-70 here so as to get thru it quickly-----and I-84 in NY is the most boring stretch of road I think I have ever been on---even Indiana was semi interesting on I 70.

By the way, I heard my first Obama political ad. Unfortunately, I live close to Ohio, where there is a primary in the next week or so, and so I suppose I will have to put up with HIllBill too. But Ihave to say that I was not impressed by the Obama ad. rather boring and bland if you ask me.

Ah well, neither he nor BillHil will get my vote, for any reason. Not even for dogcatcher.

Long live Opus and Bill the Cat................
