Grab another gear, people!!!

One more thing. Who doesn’t know what they are gonna order at any of the fast food drive thrus?

I always seem to get behind the only person reading the entire menu. I get furious if I spend more than four minutes at any drive thru. But I still keep going back

Break out of that as soon as possible. I haven't eaten fast food in over three years, and my life is SO much better for it!

I live just above the Manson/Nixon line. "Bubble People" everywhere.
You do not feature in their world. They do what they do completely oblivious to the needs, or safety of others.

Pennsyltucky?

I'm guessing Maryland

I don't care how slow people are, so long as they DON'T DAWDLE IN FRONT OF ME, FER FEKSAKES! Dumpties in blobby dumpty pods should be subject to road zappers that vaporize them. That would lower the population and raise the average IQ. And, if you stop to dither at the end of an escalator, don't be offended when the escalator doesn't stop and I crash into you. Get out of the way!

But if you step off of the curb, staring at your cell phone against a light, and I can get the motorcycle between you and the curb and make you drop your phone by blipping the throttle between you and safety, you just provided me with some entertainment. So, thank you to both of the idiots who did that little number.

It's amazing our ancestors weren't eaten by lions. Most of the current population would be, if there were loins around to eat them. Humans are nothing but lion food on the hoof.

All of this after my blood pressure got medically controlled. Imagine what I was like before that.

One of my favorite posts ever, just for having loins around to eat them.

You need to blame "cell phone crawl" for this phenomena.

Ventucky (Ventura, CA).

We're just south of the land where "backing out of a driveway without looking, and driving at twelve MPH with your blinker on" is possibly written into local codes...

I used to go up to my company's Portland office occasionally. I'd get my rental car and jump on the freeway. Crimenitly! The speed limit is 55 and everyone was driving what ... fifty-frickin'-five! I couldn't believe it. What is wrong with those people?

It used to be like that, but those days are long gone. Now it's 15 or 80, or both at once. Not quite as bad as Seattle yet, but working its way there.

Yep. NAMM is the worst case scenario I've personally observed.

Amen brother.
I have a few of the books, more like collections of his comics. I've probably read them a hundred times, but I still laugh out loud each time I check out a few pages.
Laughing out loud before LOL was popular.

LOL!

I don't think the Mason Dixon line went that far west.

It settled a border dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania (if I remember my history correctly). And it wound up being adopted as the unofficial border between the North and South during the Civil War.

I had a class when I lived in Florida where a student mentioned that she had never been west of the Mason-Dixon line. I had to inform her that she has lived her entire life west of the Mason-Dixon line, since it did not extend very far west.

 

[pie_man_25]

I'm with you, except I generally don't mind, or at least I try not to. Some times are harder than others.

Hmm ... I may be guilty of that one.

You and about 100,000 other people!

Re-read my post. I said, "Manson/Nixon" line...

Every day provides another example of lion food. Lots of lion food. We just don't have lions to enjoy the meal. It's a pity. We really need lions.

62 minute drive from Olympia to Tacoma this morning on I-5.
In no traffic, that's 20 minutes max.
In heavy traffic, it stretches out to 40-45.
Today was nuts. So glad I do not commute anywhere.

Speed is relative. I move faster than most people here in North Texas, but in NYC, I was considered extremely slow. This may be why New Yorkers have a reputation as being rude and inconsiderate.
For you guys in New York, sorry if offended, but that is the common perception in the South.
When you are new in the subway and not sure where to put the coin, it isn't necessary to start slapping someone in the back and cussing him out.

I'll be driving up the 5 to the Bay Area tomorrow. If I'm going to drive 80 mph, I'd better stay in the slow lane. In California the usual maximum speed limit is 65 nominal, 75 actual. In the central valley it's 80 - 85.

Happens here in Texas, too, except the speed limits are 75-80. Everyone is going 90-100.
