I should apologize to you about this morning. I know my 5 miles above the speed limit was getting in the way of your 15-20 miles above the speed limit. I can’t believe I had the gall to be in the far right, slow lane when doing it too. It really must have ruined your morning drive, especially with that open space in the next lane over. You must have felt trapped and terrified. That must be why, when you finally found the courage to go around me, that you cut off one of our fellow drivers. Sure, there was nobody in front of you in the fast lane or in front of him in the middle lane. You also didn’t seem to be racing toward an exit, but I’m sure you have your rational reasons.
I must commend you for your beautiful use of your bright headlights. The way you flicked them on and off for thirty seconds was simply poetic. The only way I could have enjoyed it more is if I was epileptic. You are truly a master of your trade, which I assume is speeding down the parkway in the right hand lane.
I don’t know your know or where you live, but I do want to give you a two prizes. One is simply a title, which is ‘King of the Parkway’. The other is harder because I don’t know how to send it to you. I’m going to need your help. Just following these instructions, my fast-living friend:
- Grab the brightest flashlight in your house.
- Make sure the batteries are working.
- Hold the flashlight a few inches from your face, so you can see it clearly.
- Make sure flashlight is facing you. Otherwise, you’ll just like silly.
- Spend the next 30 seconds turning it on and off while you stare at it.
- Enjoy your prize.
Again, I apologize for ruining your morning speed limit shattering. I certainly deserved to be practically blinded on a twisting, turning road that is infamous for early morning accidents. I hope you enjoy your day and that karma bites you in the Achilles tendon. Good day.
Sincerely,
A Fellow Driver

I think I’m going to stop because I need to hunker down and get to work on my 5th novel. The plan is to get at least 6 chapters done before the circus returns to the house. I’ll still be doing the blogging to some extent, but I have to behave myself and focus.

Is there even any scoring in Cricket? As for baseball, I’m not a fan, but my best friend since 1st grade is a major fan. He said that it’s a very mathematical, strategic game that isn’t for everyone. He also claimed (and was proven right) that even you don’t like watching baseball, something about being physically at a big game with friends makes it entertaining. Though, I guess the same can be said of almost every sport . . . except Cricket and synchronized swimming.

Jeez, what an arse! Thanks for the laugh, though.
It’s funny how differently I looked at this after I made the mental switch from kms to miles. I often do 10-15 over… but not miles.
And of course, I never ride another car’s back end to try to get the driver to speed up, I don’t make rude gestures or yell at them to MOVE! and I would NEVER flash my lights at them. That’s just rude and dangerous. OK, if they were going under the limit in good weather and wouldn’t pull over to let anyone pass, I’d probably be saying things they couldn’t hear. (We don’t have a lot of multi-lane freeways in these here parts) 😉
Sorry you had to start your day that way. I always like to imagine that people like that got pulled over later and god a big, fat ticket..

I’ll admit that I yell and curse, but only within the confines of the car. I don’t yell at the other person because I know it’s just my own frustration. Vindictive actions on the road are truly stupid because that’s just putting lives on the line.
The flashing lights really throws me off because that can scare somebody into swerving or blind them on a sharp turn.
