Dear Drivers

-Hey, West Virginia plates which read THE LIP: You might want to rethink that.
-Hey, chick with the "BAD ASS GIRLS DRIVE BAD ASS TOYS" bumper sticker: You're driving a Corolla. I'm pretty sure a Corolla doesn't fall into the BAD ASS TOY accordion file. I say this with a certain amount of authority, because I too am driving a Corolla.
-Hey, City of Dayton: That downtown construction you're doing? In the middle of morning rush hour? That's outstanding. Ladle on more of it.
-Hey, enormous van with handicap plates: That tag enables you to all the good parking spaces. It does not give you permission to suck as a human being and cut off everybody within a fifteen-mile radius.

Completely empathize with you here; long drives tend to make me feel quite murderous myself!

Can you please repost the link to the "thank you" piece you did for the armed forces? I can't find it in the archives...

Oh MB,
Now I can't wait for my 12-14 hour drive to SMC / Michigan to do visiting next weekend. I can't wait to see how many others I pass on the highways.
Here in Mexico, it's like living in a Sim City videogame, played by a deranged teen that drinks 12 Red Bulls a day.
I wonder how much would a horse be worth nowadays?
For those readers who don't live in Ohio, we have a saying here : There are four seasons - Construction, Construction, Construction and Winter.
In Wisconsin, we have two seasons:
Winter and Orange Barrel.
