Has anyone else driven down a street that is basically two-way, but curbside parking restricts flow temporarily to one-way? That is the subject of tonights rant. After breaking up snowpack on my driveway this afternoon I decided to take the car for a little spin to shake off what I'd gone all lazy about getting with the broom. Anyway, after getting about .002 on the odometer I noticed a vehicle headed north on my street, and using the differential calculus eyeset I was born with determined they were moving. As there were cars on both sides of the street I decided to pull aside and let them pass, as even with a hearty flogging of the accelerator I's only managaed to fishtail back and forth up to a speed of about 15. It took a FULL minute for this idiot to realise I was giving right-of-way, and after that the stupid fucker turned toward me and put on turn-signal, so I had to gun the mustang through an opening with 8 inches on either side of me or we'd have been stuck there all night.

I despise traffic lights more than drivers. I feel like someone has put a green- light-changer chip in my car. Those poor people behind me.

We all just sit there at the red light for what seems like two and a half eternities, watching no traffic go by.

Learn another language while waiting. You probably don't wear makeup or curlers - sometimes I drive local streets just to have a few signals.

That's a great suggestion.
