Daily Driving Returns
Hey all..............what's going on these days? I managed to make it back much sooner than expected. As always, I am seeing no comments on my posts. I think this is becoming a lost cause as I don't seem to be getting many hits. I guess I will keep posting on this thing that is setting in the vast expanse of cyberspace collecting cyber cob webs.
Anyway, so another episode of "daily driving." Todays post comes to us in regards to those wonderful things that seem to cause anger and anguish in us all..............railroad tracks. Yes, they are everywhere and most of the time are empty. In my daily 13 mile quest to work, I cross 2 sets. The first ones are about 3/4 of a mile away from home and rarely is a problem. The other set, however, is about 1/2 a mile from work, and there is always something going on with this one. The tracks are relatively smooth when crossing them, however, that is my opinion of them. On my way to work, just on the other side of them, is an entrance to the industrial park and a college. Most of the time, we are crossing these tracks with about 10 minutes to spare. Almost every morning, there is someone that will drive over the tracks as if the bottom of their car is going to scape the ground if they do any kind of speed going over them. This is something that really pisses me off (as stupid people spark my road rage fast). I have seen people in 4-wheel drive trucks doing this and I can't help but wonder what the hell they are trying to accomplish.
People are trying to get to work at this time and these people are driving like they have all the time in the world. There are also the ones that drive like that and then slow down more because they are turning on the road just to the other side of the tracks. I could understand hitting the tracks that slow if they were really rough on the suspension, but they are not bad at all. Comeon people, hit those track like you've got a pair. The car will not fall apart if you do. Occasionally, we get stuck by a train. Now I personally would try and respect the people trying to get to work and not take the train through this area until after the morning rush hour. But, a few weeks ago, it came through 2 times in one week. The unfortunate part is, it counts against me if I am late, even if it was something that was not my fault.
There are other scenarios, but I am sure most of us have had these issues and then some.
Anyway, I am done for this time. Happy surfing all.................................
