Well, So much for the weather foreskinsters again. Saturday night the weather showed the rain moving off. IT DIDN'T....Was light raining when I left at 5:30, and just got worse as I went.
Learned that in the rain, If you turn on your emergency flashers ? You can still go 75 M.P.H. in the rain........NOT ! ..Don't keep you from ending upside down in the medium with the guard rail posts through your windshield with one most likely planted in your head either....That was in Miss. And they don't drive like they have good sense anyway. Made damn good time considering the conditions. Took a chance and went through Memphis...rain stopped long enough to get through. They've been tearing up the 55 interchange at the Miss. River. Actually made it better, much better, even though it's only one lane north bound. That tells you how screwed up it was. 10 a.m. and the first time I came through without ending up in a frothing rage...However, got into Ark. and they've been working on repaving a section ? for over a year, if not two. What a friggin joke, single lane in either direction, very heavy traffic, raining like hell, 75 m.p.h. speed limit, reduced to 65, and everyone doing 85........Fun City. Made it without any violence inflicted on anyone.
Rained all the way through Mo. Till I got home...And we need it. It's quit. All things considered ? Not a bad trip home. I think all the idiots must have stayed home.
Still can't understand the pack driving mentality...No one around, look in the rearview mirror ? And here comes a pack of vehicles, all doing 20 m.p.h. over the speed limit, and weaving in and out...WTF ??? Learned to get in the right lane, and hope they don't run you down as they go by.
Where the hell is L.E. ??? Drove around 1,200 miles ? 4 states, saw 2 cops, The 4 at the accident don't count, pretty sure that was a fatality accident.
I don't let any moss grow on my ass when driving ? But this shit is nuts !!! A new trend. Wait till you are 3 feet from someones bumper before you change lanes, then just miss clipping the front bumper changing back ??? This when doing 75 m.p.h....Another WTF ??? People drive like SHIT !!
The trip down wasn't bad till I hit Tuscaloosa....Indian word for herd of assholes. All the years I've been driving to Al. ? The highway in Tuscaloosa has been under construction. Like 6 or 7 years. Bypass the shithole, PLEASE !!! If it's raining ? and you give space between the car in front of you? That's a invitation to be cut off. Damn near had an accident, and damn near committed violence on some little shithead. GOT to find a way around that dump.....
