My Morning Commute

My morning commute today was much less stressful than normal. That is ironic because today was absolute blizzard conditions. Here's the reason: People were driving slow, less than 35mph. People were properly spacing their cars and not tailgating. Everyone politely used their turn signals and everyone was willing to slow down and let someone merge into the lane in front of them. AMAZING!

Of course there were a couple of idiots that don't realize that the All-Wheel-Drive-Slalom on the freeway is a qualifying event for the Paralympics. The sad thing is that they may end up qualifying someone else. I only saw 2 of them. Jerk in a Honda and one in a Yukon....hummmm? I guess their lives and jobs must be more important than the rest of us. We should always pull over and let those people pass because whatever it is they do at work must affect world peace.

Too bad we can't drive with the same concern for others and courtesy when it isn't snowing. You can still drive 65 and be courteous....somewhere in this world I'm sure. Drive safe. Buckle up and give yourself a few extra minutes to get to where your going. Enjoy the journey.
