Business is done (and took longer, natch), so now it is time to RANT:
For the last three days I have never seen so much driving stupidity in my life. I thought I'd seen it all, but either there's a full moon or driver's have completely lost their sanity, in least here in LA. People running lights, people not stopping at stop signs (doing the California Roll right through - and when you honk they give YOU a dirty look), people pulling out in front of you sans warning, people trying to turn and beat oncoming cars - I mean, one idiot after another, endangering their and other's lives. People so involved in their cell phone calls that they have no idea where they're driving, so they have to do last-minute dangerous lane changes because they realize they need to go right and not left - so, they DO the dangerous lane change and others be damned because they're STILL on their cell phone yakking away instead of paying attention to what they're doing. Cars are dangerous enough without fools like that on the road and frankly I'd rather have them go home and blow their own brains out than potentially cripple and maim and kill other innocent people with their selfish driving stupidity. Today, aside from all of the above happening (within a fifteen minute drive), the topper was the cretin in front of me who was driving down and empty one lane street (no passing him) going five miles an hour. No amount of honking could get him to speed up. When I finally was able to pull beside him what did I see? I saw a driver eating a pizza, leaning over the box in the passenger seat with a dripping slice going into his ugly, stupid mouth. EATING A PIZZA WHILE DRIVING! I honked to let him know what I thought of him, but the pig didn't hear it, so engrossed in his gobbling was he. If I were a different person, I would have pulled in front of him, stopped, and gotten out of my car and had a little conversation with him.
End of rant.
