The Snowbirds are heeeeeerrrrrrrre!
But what's made me decide that today is a good day to stay in now that my errands are done was the Tesla minivan that cut across three lanes of traffic, plus a right hand turn lane, to get into a left hand turn lane without any regard to traffic and caused a three car pile up behind me. I was lucky that I was in the middle lane and the person right behind me was paying attention when I had to stab the brakes.
The left lane, though, wasn't so lucky because the Tesla driver slammed her brakes HARD to get into the turn lane and the car she cut off got rear ended for their trouble. And the car that rear-ended them got sandwiched.
Then there's the old people at the shopping center who appear to be trying to commit suicide by waiting until I'm almost there to jump in front of the car from the curb. Suck it old people! I'm on to you!
I managed to make it home despite it all, but man are the emergency vehicles out in force this afternoon.
PS: Heard a rapid string of gunfire from somewhere south of the house... No sirens yet.
We call the multilane maneuver a Jersey Yield. Also common in the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteI've just started monitoring local police dispatch using broadcastify.com and over-the-air- scanner.
ReplyDeleteGunshots at night are a frequent occurance. Police no longer respond to such unless they're called. Residents no longer call unless someone is injured or they need to file an insurance claim for damages. Sadly this is the world we live in post Obama/Biden.

They're not frequent here. And the cops were south of here within believable earshot of rifle fire. Closed a road for hours.
DeleteAround here, rapid fire is a sign of an alert driver...
