Some angry folks out there...

Driving down the main commercial street in my city this afternoon in moderately busy traffic.

Little blue sedan with a 17 year old girl on her cell phone tries to change lanes.

At the same time this mostrously lifted Chevy pickup tries to do multiple lane changes in an attempt to gain a few extra car lengths. He is high enough that I doubt he can see her.

They nearly collide of course and at the next light the guy with the chevy stops and gets out. He proceeds to walk over to the teenager and proceed to smash on her hood and roof while screaming.

This continued until a larger military type in his own truck had to stop and intervene. Chevy man runs back to his truck and flees. Teenage is in tears.

Moral of the story is to keep an eye out because there are some angry folks on the road today. This goes double for women and tiny guys.

I was at a stop sign and since this person was to the left of me, I had the right of way. Well, I turned and then ths jackass jumped out and started screaming at me. He said that I should have seen that he was turning left. Scared the shit out of me. But he finally got into his car.

Just kill a handful of innocents because you were talking on your phone, and then don't give a shit when you get out of your car.

Let me quote my dear friend Vinnie Lauria. (JBL endorser)

"Let the guinea pig run"

In other words stay away from dangerous drivers. Just let them go and if you have to pull over for a minute or two.....do it.

Hi Vinnie

You are an inspiration to me in some ways you may not like. I love you.
