Had a "Full rich" day yesterday in the car, no less! Watched a flatbed truck with no load blow a full red traffic light. Cross street traffic which included us waited for him to clear which did not take long at all....Had a Nissan Maxima start to change lanes on top of me until I laid on the horn loud and long. Guess he could not see me 'cause of his blacked-out windows. Watched a gal in an SUV pull the same stunt on someone else. She drifted to the right until horn blasted back and then turned left. Later on the 6 lane surface street was drifting from lane to lane indecisively with brake lights on until she turned right finally after making everyone slow down. Did not act drunk, just indecisive with no signal.
That "no signal" bit is real common in the deep south so does not really stand out as a flaw. Down here, if you see a signal light blinking it was probably on when they bought the car!
We made the rest of the day without incident or threat, but were on guard as in the beginning just waiting for that one or more that seems to want to kill us. I really hate going to the "big city" for buying groceries!

PS: "Full Rich" is what you do to the mixture on a piston engine in an airplane before you take-off or land. Your attention and scan are really peaked to the max when you do either.

Wow ! Wish ALL the vehicles , here , HAD blinkers period ! Although,Maine says one must signal 100 feet prior to turn...many think that 100 feet is 1/4-1/2 mile .

What a day. Be thankful it over.

Karl, we're still checking you out for that "veterans rebate" , -Guido, our linguistic guy, noted that you said, "full rich" with a bit of a $oviet accent - please hold your library card up to your monitor so we can check a few more things.
Btw, why do you need to buy so many groceries? Stockpiling?
