Daily Driving Part 1
This post, or series of posts, will be on the subject of driving. A co-worker of mine spawned the subject first thing this morning talking of an incident that happened to him on his way in.
Driving, as we all know, is something most of us are, as some would say blessed with. Those would be the younger generation who are early in their years of putting up with the sh*t that happens on the roadway. Now those of us who have been driving for some years would say that driving is not something we WANT to do every day.
One of my "not so favorite" things about driving is........RAIN. Most of the time during a nice downpour, you have to have your windows totally up to keep from ruining your only means of transportation. Typically, when all this raining is happening, it is during the summer part of the year. As you are driving along in the rain with the windows up, guess what? The windows start to fog. Again, remembering that it's summertime, you have to turn on the heat to fix the fogging problem. That really blows! From there, most can understand all the things going on inside the closed, heated driving compartment.
Next, the people out during the rain. I used to think that certain IDIOTS would come out during the rain, just to annoy those of us trying to make it home. Someone made a statement that added to my opinion of things. He said, " the idiots are always out there but the rain just MAGNIFIES their ignorance". Made perfect sence to me.
I talk mainly of those people who drive like they are scared out of their minds. They drive 35 on the highway when everyone else is driving at least the speed limit. So everyone is trying to dodge them and not cause a 30 car pile-up in the process. Or, they pull out in front of people at the last minute, not even thinking about what would happen if someone tried to stop suddenly. I could keep going, but you understand the frustration. IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF DRIVING IN THE RAIN, STAY HOME!
OK enough for now..............plenty more to come.................stay tuned......
