has anyone else noticed that people on the highway are becoming increasingly rude these days?
i take the interstate to work almost everyday.
three times in less than a week now, as i have been either entering or taking an exit,  the  there has been someone in the right hand lane moving at close to my speed, and not getting over when they had an open lane to their left.  today, it was a white suburban.  i hit 70 by the time i got to the to the top of the ramp, and found this guy in my lane, even with me, with room to get over, but not moving.  i managed to pass him with only minimal driving on the shoulder.

about six weeks ago, i was on my way back to joplin from carthage. about mile from the exit onto I44, i came up on a car, and moved into the left lane to pass.  i hit 80, and failed to pass. this guy (who had been doing something like 65) was now neck in neck with me.  seeing my exit was soon approaching, i slowed, changed back to the right, and exited.  this guy exited (in front of me).  after moving onto 44, he resumed his 65 ish speed.  again, i moved into the left lane, and speed up to pass.  now is the right time for you to know, that while my car is nothing to look at, it  rides smooth at high speeds.  i failed to pass this guy, again.  when i looked down, i was off the top of my speedometer (which goes up to 85).  so, flying down the highway at close to 100 mph, this guy takes the first exit.  he swerves off, slams on his brakes, instead of letting my pass like a sane person would.

i fail understand people these days.

yes, i can.
party cat was right, it is party time.
